Analyst’s View:
Motilal Oswal is one of the most recognizable names in the broking industry in India. The company had a dismal quarter on the back of the continued decline of stock markets around the world and India. The other businesses including private equity and real estate lending businesses are doing good with NPAs in the latter at reasonable levels. The AMC business however has been on the decline along with the rest of the AMC industry. It remains to be seen how the company will fare in the near future with the widespread expectation of an oncoming recession and capital markets will staying down. Nonetheless, given the long history and brand image of the company along with its wide physical presence, Motilal Oswal is a good NBFC/broking stock to watch out for.
