Valuation Ka Mamla?
Ab numbers toh mast hain, lekin stock ka valuation dekho toh pucho mat! P/E ratio lagbhag 43-47x chal raha hai, jo industry average 19.51x se lagbhag double hai. HDFC AMC ka P/E 33-41x aur ICICI Prudential AMC ka 49x ke aas paas hai. JM Financial ne bhi kaha hai ki yeh company apne historical average P/E se upar aur HDFC AMC se bhi mehngi mil rahi hai. Achhi baat ye hai ki company debt-free hai aur Q4 mein operating margin 68.65% tha.
Industry Growth Aur Challenges
Indian mutual fund industry toh waise bhi tezi se badh rahi hai, total AUM ₹73.73 trillion ho gaya hai aur SIP inflows ₹32,087 crore ka record bana chuke hain. Passive funds bhi zabardast chal rahe hain. Lekin, SEBI ne expense ratio norms mein kuch changes kiye hain jo April 2026 se लागू ho rahe hain. Ye investors ke liye to accha hai, par AMC ki profitability par thoda pressure aa sakta hai. Passive funds ka trend bhi industry yields ko kam kar sakta hai.
Analysts Kya Kehte Hain?
Brokerage firms abhi bhi Nippon Life AMC par bullish hain. Centrum Broking ne 'Buy' rating di hai aur target ₹1,105 rakha hai, jabki JM Financial ne 'Add' rating ke saath target ₹1,080 kiya hai. Unka maan na hai ki industry inflows aur company ki market share gains iski growth ko aage bhi support karegi.
