Anand Rathi Wealth Future Earnings and Revenue Growth
Assumptions
How have these above catalysts been quantified?
- Analysts are assuming Anand Rathi Wealth's revenue will grow by 21.3% annually over the next 3 years.
- Analysts assume that profit margins will increase from 31.6% today to 34.2% in 3 years time.
- Analysts expect earnings to reach ₹7.7 billion (and earnings per share of ₹35.71) by about June 2029, up from ₹4.0 billion today.
- In order for the above numbers to justify the price target of the analysts, the company would need to trade at a PE ratio of 77.2x on those 2029 earnings, up from 73.6x today. This future PE is greater than the current PE for the IN Capital Markets industry at 26.7x.
- Analysts expect the number of shares outstanding to grow by 0.29% per year for the next 3 years.
- To value all of this in today's terms, we will use a discount rate of 13.47%, as per the Simply Wall St company report.
Risks
What could happen that would invalidate this narrative?- The wealth management industry is inherently linked with capital market performance, leading to potential earnings volatility which could impact revenue consistency if market conditions falter.
- With ongoing expansions, such as the incorporation of a U.K. subsidiary and plans for Bahrain, there are risks associated with regulatory approvals and successful execution, which could affect future earnings and margins.
- Despite the company’s consistent track record, reliance on continued high growth in mutual fund distribution and net inflows might be hampered by adverse market conditions, impacting revenue growth.
- There is a focus on structured products, which rely on market conditions and internal financial engineering. Mismanagement or unforeseen market movements could negatively impact earnings.
- Competitive pressures, particularly in the digital and private wealth management sectors, might impact client acquisition costs and operating margins, affecting overall profitability.
Valuation
How have all the factors above been brought together to estimate a fair value?
- The analysts have a consensus price target of ₹2415.0 for Anand Rathi Wealth based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors.
- However, there is a degree of disagreement amongst analysts, with the most bullish reporting a price target of ₹3280.0, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just ₹1550.0.
- In order for you to agree with the analysts, you'd need to believe that by 2029, revenues will be ₹22.4 billion, earnings will come to ₹7.7 billion, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 77.2x, assuming you use a discount rate of 13.5%.
- Given the current share price of ₹1753.3, the analyst price target of ₹2415.0 is 27.4% higher.
- We always encourage you to reach your own conclusions though. So sense check these analyst numbers against your own assumptions and expectations based on your understanding of the business and what you believe is probable.
