We upgrade Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC (ABSL) on the back of improved earnings growth prospects driven by better fund performance, strong retail franchise and revision in TER regulation, which is now expected to be favourable (Link) vs earlier announcements. Our revised target price stands at INR 432 (INR 356 earlier) based on 15x (unchanged) FY25E core EPS of INR 22 (INR 17.4 earlier) and cash per share of INR 102. We factor-in 14.5% AAUM CAGR between FY23-FY25E and expect overall revenue yields to decline from 43.8bps in FY23 to 41.5bps in FY24E and 41bps in FY25E, leading to a revenue CAGR of 10.9% during the same period. This will result in EBITDA (ex-other income) of INR 8.9bn in FY25 (12.9% CAGR between FY23-25) and core PAT of INR 6.3bn in FY25 (12.4% CAGR between FY23-25)

PAT rose 12% QoQ to INR 1,249mn due to sharp increase in ‘other income’ because of significant M2M gains.
