Nuvama: Stellar Start as an Independent Listed Entity
- Nuvama reported its first quarterly result since its listing, as a demerged entity. It reported strong growth across all its business segments.
- Wealth management revenues grew 30% YoY, adjusted for one-off accounting impact. Cyclical recovery in the capital markets segment further helped.
- Nuvama has potential to scale up rapidly and grow its profitability exponentially led by growth and operating leverage. At the current valuation, an investment in Nuvama has potential to triple.
