2-Min Summary
CAMS delivered a solid Q4 FY26 with 11% YoY revenue growth and EBITDA margin of 46.5%, expanding 150bps YoY. Non-MF revenue grew 24.5% YoY, now contributing 15.3% of enterprise revenue, driven by payments, AIF, and K. MF revenue was flat due to muted AUM growth, but equity AUM share improved to 67% and equity net sales share rose to 76%. Management guided for sustained 20%+ non-MF growth, flat K revenue in FY27 despite a price cut, and further margin expansion via rearchitecture and automation. Key risk: potential yield compression from passive mix shift or AMC renegotiations, though management sees limited impact.

low · analyst_questionNotable Quotes
We posted our highest ever quarterly revenue in Q4 FY26... non-MF heralded the growth metric a lot better than MF did in this quarter.
Our aim is to at least retain what we are in Q4 in terms of EBITDA margins for next year.
We will see all the revenue growth on falling headcount... some bit of fall which we may choose not to do some backfill.
