Outlook
We have cut our earnings estimates by 5% each for FY26/FY27 to factor in: 1) lower assumption in AUM growth, given market sentiment, and 2) the decline in yields as guided by the management. We expect revenue/PAT to post a CAGR of 12%/13% over FY25-27E. We reiterate a BUY rating on the stock with a one-year TP of INR4,300, premised at a P/E multiple of 35x on FY27E earnings.
