Brokerages maintain positive stance

Brokerages maintained a positive stance on Angel One following its Q4 FY26 performance, citing strong earnings growth and sustained trading momentum.

Citi retained a buy rating with a target price of ₹340, highlighting an 84 per cent year-on-year rise in profit after tax, which came in about 6 per cent ahead of its estimates. The brokerage noted that on a quarter-on-quarter basis, core profit before tax rose 19 per cent, driven by a sharp uptick in trading volumes and some reversal in employee costs. It added that retail activity remained robust, supported further by market volatility, with overall trading orders growing 31 per cent year-on-year and 13 per cent sequentially. Realisations per order saw a marginal uptick across segments, while the margin trading funding (MTF) book declined around 8 per cent sequentially.

Investec also maintained a buy rating with a target price of ₹340, stating that higher broking realisations and improved net interest income supported the earnings beat. The brokerage pointed to the company’s digital-first model as a key driver of operating leverage and said wealth management continues to gain traction through new initiatives. However, it flagged that cash market share remains an area to watch, while valuations appear reasonable at current levels.
