Data Source: Company RHP filed with SEBI (FY refers to Apr-Mar period) 

The company has shown steady sales growth as also in PAT margins, which is at double-digits now. The ROE is at above 20%, but the ROA is low due to a rather bloated asset base of the company. That may limit upside for the stock. 

Valuation Metrics

At the current upper band price of ₹414 per share, the valuation of the company is at a P/E ratio of 17.6X in terms of latest year EPS of ₹23.46. That looks fairly reasonable when compared to the peer group. However, the business of stock broking has been cyclical and the competition from low-cost broking has also been intense. 

The company does bring some advantages to the table. The company enjoys one of the best average revenues per customer among the brokerage houses, and that has been largely led by the MTF business. Its full-service brokerage model and that makes it less prone to the vagaries of derivatives volumes. Investors can look at the IPO as an indirect play on the capital markets, although price volatility could be par for the course.
