Emkay Global, on the other hand, is optimistic about the Max Financial stock and has set a price goal of Rs 930.
The call was made on December 14, when the price was Rs 706.4 at the end of the day. Based on that price, the up side was 31.72%.
The company's shares have done much worse than the rest of the market and its peers because growth has been slowing and structure simplification has been put off. The delay and penalty from regulators have also hurt. With an FY24E P/EV of 1.6x, company shares are giving a strong brand very little structural value (implied 6x FY25 VNB) at the moment. According to the brokerage's view, Max Financial's share price should see a steady re-rating once the company makes progress in simplifying its structure and sees a return to growth. Emkay Global said.
The company's net profit for the September quarter went up by 29%, from Rs 39.63 crore to Rs 51.29 crore. In the same quarter of the previous fiscal year, the net profit was Rs 39.63 crore.
In Q2, sales were the same as in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year, at Rs 9316 crore.
