✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript
HDFC AMC reported a strong Q3 FY26 with operating revenue of ₹1,233 crore (+15% YoY) and PAT of ₹770 crore (+20% YoY). Operating margin improved to 36% (up 100 bps QoQ) due to lower other expenses. Key drivers: industry SIP inflows hit a record ₹310 billion in December, and HDFC AMC added 2.8 million unique investors (total 15.4 million). The company crossed ₹9 trillion in total AUM, with equity AUM at ₹6 trillion (65.5% mix). PMS AUM crossed ₹5,000 crore, and the first close of a structured credit fund raised ₹1,290 crore. Management expects yields to remain steady despite telescopic pricing, and aims to maintain operating margins within 33-36 bps. Regulatory changes (exit load removal, TER restructuring) are expected to be managed via optimization, similar to 2019. Risk: potential margin compression from regulatory changes and competitive pressure in passive flows.
एचडीएफसी एएमसी ने वित्त वर्ष 2025-26 की तीसरी तिमाही में अच्छा प्रदर्शन किया। कंपनी की कमाई ₹1,233 करोड़ रही, जो पिछले साल से 15% ज्यादा है। मुनाफा ₹770 करोड़ रहा, जो 20% बढ़ा है। कंपनी का खर्च कम होने से मुनाफा बढ़ा। दिसंबर में एसआईपी (हर महीने निवेश) का रिकॉर्ड ₹3.10 लाख करोड़ आया। एचडीएफसी एएमसी के पास 1.54 करोड़ निवेशक हैं। कंपनी का कुल निवेश ₹9 लाख करोड़ पार कर गया। शेयरों में निवेश ₹6 लाख करोड़ है। कंपनी ने एक नया फंड भी शुरू किया। मैनेजमेंट का कहना है कि मुनाफा 33-36 पैसे प्रति रुपये पर रहेगा। नियमों में बदलाव से फर्क नहीं पड़ेगा। लेकिन प्रतिस्पर्धा और नियमों से मुनाफा कम होने का खतरा है।
