Motilal Oswal sees this multibagger AMC stock rising 15% to fresh record high. Should you buy?
Domestic brokerage firm Motilal Oswal, in its latest note, has maintained an optimistic outlook on Nippon Life India AMC, keeping its buy rating unchanged with a target price of ₹ 930 apiece, a record target for the stock. The target price also indicates an 15.4% upside for the stock. The brokerage highlighted the company's rapid growth in the domestic mutual fund industry, with expanding market share supported by consistent net inflows, strong SIP traction, and a healthy equity mix. According to Motilal, the company has delivered the fastest Quarterly Average Assets Under Management (QAAUM) growth in the industry, rising 27% YoY to ₹ 6.1 trillion as of June 2025. This growth has lifted the company's overall market share to 8.5%, an increase of 23 basis points. Its SIP AUM rose 27% YoY to ₹ 1.5 trillion, with 75% of SIPs below ₹ 10,000, a structure that ensures stability and high retention. The brokerage noted that NAM remains one of the largest ETF players, with an AUM of ₹ 1.7 trillion, accounting for 52% of industry folios and 51% of ETF volumes on the BSE and NSE. As of June 2025, NAM's Gold ETF ranked among the world's top 10 by AUM. Motilal also underscored the company's progress in scaling its alternatives and offshore businesses, with ₹ 81 billion in AIF commitments and ₹ 166 billion in offshore AUM. The brokerage believes these segments will serve as incremental growth levers beyond the core mutual fund franchise, gaining increasing traction from institutional and global investors. 'NAM is strategically scaling its Specialized Investment Fund (SIF) platform as a high-potential standalone business focused on differentiated, alpha-generating strategies. Backed by a dedicated team and strong management commitment, the SIF vertical is being positioned as a key long-term growth engine,' said the brokerage. It also pointed out that the company's mutual fund segment performance reflects its focused strategy on scaling retail participation, driving product innovation, and enhancing operational efficiency, positioning it as a credible compounding franchise in the Indian asset management industry. The company's shares have been on a steady uptrend, ending the past four months in the green. Even in July, they managed to close higher despite a sharp sell-off in the broader market, while also hitting a fresh all-time high of ₹ 877.65. This rally has driven a 255% gain from the March 2023 lows. During this period, the stock finished 80% of the months in positive territory, with its strongest month recorded in April 2025, a 25% gain.

Amazon leases 600,000 square feet warehousing at Kolkata's Oswal Logistics Park
Amazon has signed a built-to-suit (BTS) lease deal for a 600,000 sq ft facility at Oswal Logistics Park in Kolkata, further reinforcing its aggressive supply chain expansion in India. The facility will comprise a 400,000 sq ft plinth area and 200,000 sq ft mezzanine area, with handover expected between 2027 and 2028. The e-commerce firm will pay about Rs 32 per sq ft in monthly rent, marking one of the higher-end rental agreements in Kolkata's increasingly competitive warehousing market, showed registered lease documents. Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass Batch-1 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass - Batch 2 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass - Batch 3 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program Artificial Intelligence AI For Business Professionals By Vaibhav Sisinity View Program Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass - Batch 4 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program Artificial Intelligence AI For Business Professionals Batch 2 By Ansh Mehra View Program 'The BTS facility at Oswal Logistics Park is expected to incorporate state-of-the-art automation and fulfilment systems, aligning with Amazon's global standards for efficiency and scale,' said a person familiar with the deal. Amazon and Oswal could not reached for comment. The move underscores Amazon's continued push to strengthen its last-mile delivery infrastructure and cater to rising order volumes across Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities. Live Events Earlier in 2025, Amazon leased over 800,000 sq ft in Delhi NCR, including 550,000 sq ft at Welspun Logistics Park, Luhari, and 300,000 sq ft at Indospace Logistics Park along the Sohna-Palwal Road. These deals reflect the US company's long-term strategy to cement its dominance across key consumption corridors, bolstered by improving connectivity and scalable infrastructure. 'Amazon's recent warehouse transactions are a strong indicator of its bullish outlook on India's long-term consumption growth,' said the person cited above. 'As the company continues to localise inventory and enhance delivery speeds, its real estate strategy will remain a critical competitive advantage.' Amazon's leasing spree coincides with an all-time high demand for industrial and warehousing space in India. According to a recent Colliers India report , the first half of 2025 saw 20 million sq ft getting leased in the top eight cities, a 33% year-on-year growth. Delhi-NCR and Chennai emerged as dominant hubs, jointly contributing to about half of the total demand. 'Kolkata's industrial and warehousing sector recorded steady growth in H1 2025, with a 43% year-on-year increase in Grade A space absorption, reaching 1.0 million sq ft compared to 0.7 million sq ft in H1 2024,' said Vijay Ganesh, managing director, industrial & logistics services at Colliers India. The June quarter alone accounted for 500,000 sq ft of gross leasing. While Kolkata's leasing volume is relatively modest compared to cities like Delhi NCR and Mumbai, its consistent upward trend signals strengthening demand, driven by expanding activity in segments such as 3PL, e-commerce, and engineering. On the supply side, Kolkata saw a marginal stagnation. Grade A new supply during H1 2025 stood at 1.3 million sq ft — the same as in H1 2024 — with a 20% dip in Q2 2025 compared to a year earlier. Across the top cities, large deals over 200,000 sq ft—like Amazon's latest transaction—accounted for 51% of leasing across India's top cities in H1 2025. While 3PL firms continued to dominate, e-commerce, engineering, and auto sectors also showed significant interest in scalable, compliant warehousing spaces.

Kalyan Jewellers share price crashes 9% despite a 49% jump in Q1 profit. Should you buy the stock?
Kalyan Jewellers' share price crashed over 9 per cent in the morning trade on the BSE on Friday, August 8, a day after the company reported its June quarter (Q1) results. The stock opened at ₹ 615.65 against its previous close of ₹ 590.75 and crashed 9.4 per cent to hit an intraday low of ₹ 534.95. Around 10:50 AM, the jewellery stock traded 6.90 per cent down at ₹ 550. Kalyan Jewellers' share price crashed despite the company reporting healthy year-on-year (YoY) growth in consolidated profit and revenue for Q1FY26. Kalyan Jewellers' consolidated profit after tax (PAT) for Q1FY26 was ₹ 264 crore, up 49 per cent against the profit of ₹ 178 crore in the same period in the previous financial year. PAT margin inches up to 3.6 per cent from 3.2 per cent YoY. The company's consolidated revenue of ₹ 7,268 crore was up 31 per cent year over year. In Q1FY25, it was ₹ 5,528 crore. EBITDA for Q1FY26 was ₹ 508 crore, up 38 per cent YoY against ₹ 368.4 crore in Q1FY25, while EBITDA margin increased to 7 per cent from 6.7 per cent YoY. Kalyan Jewellers' lifestyle jewellery platform, Candere, recorded a revenue of ₹ 66 crore and a net loss of ₹ 10 crore for Q1FY26. 'We have started off the ongoing quarter well despite continuing volatility in gold prices and a higher base. We are upbeat about the upcoming festive season across the country and are gearing up for the launch of fresh collections and campaigns,' said Ramesh Kalyanaraman, Executive Director, Kalyan Jewellers. Kalyan Jewellers is one of the largest jewellery retailers in India with a presence in the Middle East and the US. Experts appear largely positive about the stock's long-term prospects due to the company's widespread market presence and healthy growth outlook. Brokerage firm Motilal Oswal Financial Services has a buy call on the stock with a target price of ₹ 700. "We model a 21 per cent, 17 per cent, and 21 per cent revenue, EBITDA, and PAT CAGR, respectively, over FY26-28E. We have largely maintained our EPS (earnings per share) estimates for FY26 and FY27. We reiterate our buy rating with a target price of ₹ 700, based on a 50 times June 2027 price-to-earnings ratio," said Motilal Oswal. Motilal highlighted that, with the successful scaling up of its new franchise businesses and continued success in non-Southern markets, Kalyan Jewellers has established itself as a leading brand in the industry. Motilal believes the company's non-South expansion has improved the studded jewellery mix. The asset-light expansion supports healthy cash flow generation for debt repayment and enhances profitability by reducing interest costs. Brokerage firm JM Financial, too, has maintained a buy call on the stock with a target price of ₹ 700. "We largely maintain our EPS estimates as the benefits of better margins get negated by higher interest costs required for the working capital requirement for the new pilot. Maintain a buy rating on the stock with an unchanged target price of ₹ 700, based on 45 times June'27 EPS," said JM Financial. JM Financial highlighted that Kalyan Jewellers is planning to launch new regional brands for every state, catering to regional demand and increasing the total addressable market by targeting the mass market. JM Financial underscored that the current Kalyan showrooms target more aspirational customers. The new regional brand will target only those customers who are not aspirational and want to continue with the regional taste. While the stock appears to be a long-term buy, some technical experts believe investors should consider taking profits on any bounce. Jigar S. Patel, Senior Manager of Equity Research at Anand Rathi Share and Stock Brokers, pointed out that Kalyan Jewellers stock is showing signs of weakness on the charts, with heavy volumes observed near the ₹ 620 mark. Kalyan Jewellers technical chart "The stock has faced multiple rejections at this level, reinforcing it as a strong resistance zone. Additionally, the RSI remains below 40, indicating sustained bearish momentum. Traders are advised to book profits on any upward bounce from current levels," said Patel.
