Key takeaways from the management commentary
Barring one, CAMS has entered into new agreements with all major AMCs
and does not expect revisions in the next 2-3 years. Some contracts have
been rolled over at previous rates while a few have seen marginal reduction
in pricing.
AIF segment clocked 32% YoY growth in 2QFY23 with more than one signings
every week. CAMS has gained significant market share in this segment.
Tweak estimates to factor in PAT miss and strong non-MF revenue outlook
Empirically, CAMS has traded at a premium to listed AMCs in terms of one-
year forward P/E. This premium is well deserved, given: 1) the duopoly
nature of the industry and high-entry barriers, 2) relatively low risk of a
market share loss, and 3) higher customer ownership as compared to AMCs.
Based on one-year forward P/E multiple, the premium enjoyed by CAMS over
HDFC AMC has narrowed to 20% from 60% over the last one year. This was on
account of the weak environment in the AMC space, given the pressure on
yields, outflows from the Debt segment, and an MTM hit on Equity AUM. We
expect these factors to reverse in the coming months, as the intensity of the fall
in yields abates, debt inflows increase with the topping of bond yields and a
rebound in the equity market.
We adjust our earnings to factor in the earnings miss in 2QFY23 and increased
confidence of management on non-MF businesses’ growth outlook. Resultantly,
we cut our EPS estimates for FY23/FY24/FY25 by 5%/4%/2%, respectively. CAMS
is expected to deliver a revenue/EBITDA/PAT CAGR of 13%/12%/14% over FY22-
25, respectively, with an RoE of 44.9% in FY25. We maintain our BUY rating
with a one-year TP of INR2,900 (premised on 36x Sep’24 EPS).

Investments will continue to happen in the new businesses although at a lower
growth pace.
ESOP cost was INR65m in 2QFY23 v/s INR95m in 1QFY23. For FY23/FY24,
INR279/INR140m can be expected.
CAMS currently has INR4.5b of cash and cash equivalents before accounting for
the interim dividend declared in 2QFY23.
Hiring will be primarily towards technology and other costs are likely to be
reasonably stable in the near term. Upsides to margins will accrue from scale up
of new businesses.
Of the new business lines, CAMS is confident of scaling up size in Alternatives,
Insurance Repository and Account Aggregator businesses.
