As reported by CNBC TV18, the brokerage said NAM AMC remains focused on absolute earnings growth and profitable scale rather than pursuing market share at any cost.

The brokerage highlighted that the analyst day focused on factors that could sustain the company's performance going forward.
NAM AMC had 40.2 million folios and 24.1 million unique investors as of June 2026, representing 39% of India's mutual fund investor base, according to Nomura's analysis reported by CNBC TV18. The company's funds have consistently remained within the top or upper-middle tiers, which the company attributed to processes that reduce key-person dependence and prioritise long-term returns. The brokerage also highlighted HNI share gains, MFD-led distribution and a maturing digital ecosystem as factors supporting participation in both active and passive segments.
According to HSBC's analysis reported by CNBC TV18, management remains focused on continued investments in distribution and branding to increase its customer base and wallet share. NAM AMC is also looking to expand in B-100 cities and leverage digital partnerships as growth accelerators, while scaling up its non-mutual fund business remains a focus. The company is increasing its focus on smaller B-30 markets, where it has a 10% share, through one-man operations and investments in digital channels, as noted by Jefferies.
HSBC maintained its 'hold' rating on NAM AMC with a target price of ₹1,090, implying a downside of around 7% from Monday's close. As reported by CNBC TV18, the brokerage said management remains focused on continued investments in distribution and branding to increase its customer base and wallet share. However, HSBC believes the stock's premium valuation is well supported by its fundamentals, thereby limiting the scope for further rerating. The stock has gained 32% over the last six months, reflecting strong investor confidence in the asset manager's growth prospects.
