The brokerage has cut its target multiple owing to a weaker-than-expected impact of the cash brokerage introduction and uncertainty around the price hike to tackle the F&O regulation impact.

Angel One has demonstrated the ability to protect its profitability by taking corrective pricing actions to offset the impact of true-to-label charge regulations. However, the timing of usage of levers to offset the impact of F&O regulations remains uncertain. Investments in new business segments have kept the cost structure elevated and we are yet to factor in upsides that could arise from revenues in new segments.

Motilal Oswal Report

Angel One Ltd. reported total income of Rs 9.9 billion, up 19% YoY/down 18% QoQ and largely in line with our estimate. The sequential decline was owing to the impact of F&O regulations and True-to-Label regulations on other income. For 9MFY25, total income grew 45% YoY to Rs 33 billion.

Total operating expenses grew 23% YoY (13% higher than estimate), leading to a CI ratio of 58% versus 56% in Q3 FY24 (versus our estimate of 52.6%), driven by higher-than-expected admin and other expenses. The elevated C/I ratio resulted in PAT of Rs 2.8 billion (+8% YoY), 11% below our estimate. For 9MFY25, PAT grew 27% YoY to Rs 10 billion.

The number of orders stood at 422 million in Q3 FY25, up 20% YoY/down 14% QoQ and largely in line with our estimate. MTF book continued to scale up and was at Rs 43.3 billion (up 4% QoQ/118% YoY) at the end of Q3 FY25.
