Our view – Yield inches lower, AUM growth sluggish
There was an erosion of yield amounting to 0.02 bps on sequential basis: The revenue yield for the quarter was 2.72bps. Telescoping pricing played a role in eroding yield since a couple of players merged causing their AUM to move above thresholds. There was also some negative impact due to price re-negotiation.
AUM growth was sluggish but management put in somewhat positive commentary: A couple of large mutual funds are having a build-up in rankings and one would have to see what impact that would have on equity inflows for CAMS. While non-liquid debt MF business in March was expectedly strong due to intense sales activity, it has remained strong in the first 5 weeks of the current quarter
The Insurance Repository business awaits favourable regulation to enhance the opportunity size: The company expects pricing to erode due to competition, which would lead to an industry opportunity size of Rs 1.5-2.5bn, depending on the extent of price erosion.
We maintain a less-than-bullish ‘Add’ rating on CAMS with a revised price target of Rs 2450: We value CAMS at 38x FY24 P/E at which CAMS would trade at 13.4x FY24 P/B.
