At the IPO price of ₹1,665 (upper band), the stock gets discounted at a P/E ratio of 41.3X, based on the latest FY26 EPS of ₹40.36. If you compare with the peer group, it is the mutual fund AMCs that are getting a higher P/E ratio. The only other alternative fund manager (Gaja Alternatives) trades at a much lower P/E of around 16.5X. Even its own wealth management unit (Nuvama) trades at a P/E of just around 30X.
