Equirus Securities predicts that ICICI Prudential AMC will grow its revenue and profits by about 16% each year from 2025 to 2028. This growth will be driven by increasing investments, more people using passive investments, and growing investments in alternative investment funds.
The company manages a lot of money for its customers, and analysts expect this to grow by 18.6% over the next few years. They believe that strong interest from customers, especially wealthy ones, is a key reason for this expected growth.
The brokerage says the stock is currently valued at a reasonable price – 30 times what the company is expected to earn in 2027. This is lower than its competitors, despite the company’s strong performance and customer loyalty.
However, there are also some potential problems to watch out for. Market changes, rising costs, and investments not performing as well as expected could hurt the company’s growth. Specifically, investments in specialized funds could become more popular, which could impact other areas of the business.
Investing in the stock market always carries risk, and careful consideration is essential.
