On December 14, when the closing price was Rs 706.4, the call was made. According to that price, the anticipated gain was 31.72%.
Due to the twin whammy of declining growth and delays in structure simplification, including the delay and penalty from the regulatory end, the company's stock has lagged the broader market and its competitors by a significant margin. Currently trading at a P/EV of 1.6x for FY24E, firm shares ascribe very little structural value (implied 6x FY25 VNB) to such a great franchise. According to the brokerage's opinion, Max Financial's share price will undergo a sustained re-rating after the company achieves progress on structure simplification and sees a growth recovery. Emkay Global said.
The company's net profit for the September quarter increased by 29% to Rs 51.29 crore from Rs 39.63 crore in the same period of the prior fiscal year.
Comparing the second quarter of this fiscal year to the second quarter of the previous fiscal year, sales were unchanged at Rs 9316 crore.
