Mutual funds, retail investors raise stake in this mid-cap multibagger stock in Q1. Do you own it?

Mint16-07-2025
Mutual funds have increased their stake in Computer Age Management Services (CAMS)—India's largest registrar and transfer agent for mutual funds—during the first quarter of the current fiscal year (Q1FY26).
As of the end of June 2025, 33 mutual funds collectively held an 11.4% stake in CAMS, equivalent to 56 lakh shares. This marks a notable increase from the 10.69% stake held at the end of the March quarter, according to shareholding data from Trendlyne.
Meanwhile, Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) also held a 2.85% stake in the company. Key mutual funds currently invested in the stock include Canara Robeco Small Cap Fund, UTI Mid Cap Fund, Axis Small Cap Fund, and ICICI Prudential Innovation Fund.
Retail investors, similar to mutual funds, also increased their stake in the company to 30.7%, up from 28.3% in the March quarter. Foreign investors, on the other hand, trimmed their stake to 52% from 55% in Q1FY25.
CAMS holds a 68% market share among registrars and transfer agents in the mutual fund industry, based on mutual fund average assets under management (AAUM). It services 26 out of 50 fund houses, including 10 of the top 15 mutual funds. In FY25, CAMS managed about 132 new fund offers, mobilizing a cumulative amount of ₹ 73,400 crore.
The growth in mutual fund AUM has gained momentum, supported by consistent SIP inflows and mark-to-market (MTM) gains. Domestic brokerage firm Motilal Oswal expects this trend to continue, driven by the increasing adoption of mutual funds as a preferred savings product. Direct investing through discount brokers has also grown in popularity, and with mutual fund penetration still at just 4%, the brokerage expects this growth trajectory to be sustained.
CAMS Pay recorded significant growth in UPI-based mandate registrations, rising 25% quarter-on-quarter in Q4FY25. As UPI AutoPay becomes the preferred method for SIPs and recurring purchases, CAMS is well-positioned as a key infrastructure partner for AMCs and distributors.
With strong backend integration, CAMS Pay is emerging as a critical component of the recurring digital payments infrastructure for the financial services sector.
Despite several tailwinds for the company, the brokerage has largely maintained its earnings estimates for FY26 and FY27. It believes that healthy AUM growth and increasing traction in non-mutual fund segments will offset the decline in yields, as indicated by the management.
The brokerage expects CAMS' revenue and PAT to grow at a CAGR of 11% and 12%, respectively, over FY25–FY27E. It has retained a BUY rating on the stock with a one-year target price of ₹ 5,000, based on a P/E multiple of 42x on FY27E earnings.
The company's shares made a strong comeback in March 2025 after witnessing severe selling pressure in the preceding two months. From the February low of ₹ 3,126, the stock has gained 64%, ending the last four months in the green.
Over the past three years, the shares have more than doubled. In December, the stock crossed the ₹ 5,000 mark for the first time, hitting a fresh all-time high of ₹ 5,367 apiece.

DLF's comeback project in Mumbai sees ₹2,300 cr sales in first week

New Delhi-based real estate major DLF's first project in Mumbai, marking its comeback in the market in partnership with Trident Realty, has achieved sales of Rs 2,300 crore. The first phase of the project, launched recently, sold out completely within a week. The company launched four towers as part of the first phase. The project—The Westpark—is a premium residential development located off Link Road, Andheri West, Mumbai. Aakash Ohri, joint managing director and chief business officer of DLF Home Developers (a wholly owned subsidiary of DLF), described the company's success in Mumbai as a bigger statement than Privana North—DLF's luxury project in Gurugram, which generated Rs 11,000 crore in sales within a week of its launch. Ohri told Business Standard that the company was able to command prices between Rs 42,500 and Rs 53,000 per square foot (sq ft) while selling The Westpark, with one of its five penthouses in the first phase sold at Rs 70,000 per sq ft. The company secured margins between 39 and 40 per cent from the sales. DLF, the largest listed Indian real estate developer, holds a 51 per cent stake in The Westpark, with the remaining share owned by Trident, another Gurugram-based real estate company with several projects in Mumbai. 'Initially, we launched only two of the four planned towers, but due to exceptional demand, we brought all four towers to market, resulting in the sellout of all 416 units,' Ohri said. The Westpark spans 5.18 acres and is part of a larger 10-acre master plan. The development will comprise eight residential towers, with the first phase introducing four towers, each rising 37 storeys and offering a total of 416 residences. The homes include a select mix of 3- and 4-BHK residences ranging from 1,125 to 2,500 sq ft (carpet area). Located off Link Road in Andheri West, The Westpark offers access to the Western Express Highway, SV Road, the New Link Road, and upcoming developments like the elevated JVLR and Coastal Road. Residents are expected to benefit from seamless travel across the city, north to south and east to west, DLF added. Ohri stated that the company has already received 5-20 project proposals in Mumbai. 'We want to start and get this product off the ground first, show some strength and ability, and then get down to doing it (more projects in Mumbai),' he added. Additionally, the second phase of The Westpark is expected to launch next year and is anticipated to generate revenues of Rs 2,300-2,500 crore more.

Beta Technologies makes history: First passenger-carrying electric aircraft lands in New York-New Jersey airport zone; major step for US aviation

Beta Technologies marked a major breakthrough by becoming the first US company to successfully land an all-electric aircraft at a New York-New Jersey area airport, the company and port officials announced on June 3. The journey to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport lasted 45 minutes, carrying a pilot and four passengers, as stated in their official release, Reuters reported. Transport organisations, including aviation companies, are exploring services utilising electric battery-powered aircraft with vertical take-off and landing capabilities to provide short urban travel solutions, offering an alternative to ground traffic. The Federal Aviation Administration established comprehensive training and pilot certification guidelines for air taxi operations in October, describing it as "the final piece in the puzzle for safely introducing these aircraft in the near term." That same month, Beta secured $318 million in equity capital to support production, certification and commercialisation of electric aircraft, with their total raised capital exceeding $1 billion. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why Seniors Are Snapping Up This TV Box, We Explain!
