Analyst Recommendations
Following the Q3 results, leading brokerages maintained positive outlooks on Groww's prospects:
Motilal Oswal retained its 'Buy' rating and raised the target price to ₹190 from ₹185, citing robust revenue growth and margin expansion potential. The brokerage highlighted that Groww's improving EBITDA margins are driven by strong topline performance and operating leverage from largely fixed costs. Management guidance indicates employee and marketing expenses are expected to rise 10-20%, but continued revenue growth could result in further margin expansion.
Citi Research initiated coverage with a 'Buy' rating and ₹190 target price, emphasizing Groww's transition to a one-stop platform for financial products distribution. The brokerage noted the company's customer-centric approach, first-mover advantage in direct mutual funds, and lean operating structure. Citi forecasts EPS CAGR of 35% over FY2026-FY2029, with adjusted EBITDA margin estimated at 69.3% by FY2029E.
Both brokerages raised their EPS estimates for FY27 and FY28 by 2% each, taking into account strong expansion in Groww's margin trading facility book and better-than-anticipated commodities segment launch.
