While everything is going on, Emkay Global has a bullish outlook on Max Financial stock and has set a target price of Rs 930.
The recommendation was made on December 14, when the price at the end of the day was Rs 706.4. That pricing indicated that there would be a gain of 31.72 percent.
As a result of the double whammy of slowing growth and postponing the simplification of the structure, as well as the delay and penalty from the regulatory end, the company's shares have significantly underperformed the general market and their competitors. Company shares are currently selling at a P/EV for FY24E of 1.6x, which means they are attributing a very little (implied 6x FY25 VNB) amount of structural value to such a successful business. According to the opinion of the brokerage, "after Max Financial achieves progress in structure simplification and shows resurgence in growth, its share price should observe sustained re-rating," but this won't happen until later. Emkay Global said.
The company's net profit for the September quarter increased by 29% to 51.29 crore, as compared to the net profit of 39.63 crore that it reported for the same period of the previous fiscal year.
In the second quarter of this fiscal year, sales were unchanged at 9316 crore, compared to 9325 crore in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year.
