The key contributor to the outperformance was a 26% beat in net interest income. Volatility in the equity market led to a decline in the active client ratio to 33.6% in 3QFY23 from 36.2% in 2QFY23.

Outlook

We have upgraded our FY23 EPS estimates by 7.6% to factor in higher-than-estimated interest income. For FY24/FY25, we have slightly adjusted our EPS estimates and raised our revenue per order forecasts for the cash and F&O segments while bringing down growth estimates for the number of orders for both the segments given weak trends. We maintain our BUY rating on the stock with a revised TP of INR2,100 (premised on 18x Sep'24E EPS).
