This widespread reach has enabled them to enhance its client base by 36.81% CAGR from 1.06 million in FY18 to 2.15 million as on June 30, 2020. 

Ensuring client satisfaction through the implementation of advanced technology and digitalization:  Angel has successfully implemented technology to the broking and advisory business in India, from acquisition of clients to the settlement of trades, remittance of funds and providing its clients with necessary data and reports to ensure that its clients are provided with customized and holistic solutions.

KEY RISKS

General economic and market conditions in India and globally could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and prospects: Broking business is highly dependent on economic and political conditions and thus the performance of the stock markets. Any adverse change in global scenario may impact the volume of financial assets traded, the number of listed securities and liquidity of the listed securities which would adversely affect the broking business.

Concentration Risk: Also the company faces concentration risk as it relies a lot on its broking business, which contributes 72.21% to the total income. Again any adverse impact on market conditions may affect the profitability of the segment. 

The Company, some of its Directors, Promoters, Subsidiaries and certain Group Companies are involved in legal and other proceedings. Lalit T. Thakkar, one of the members of the Promoter Group and one of the Selling Shareholders, has in the past been debarred from accessing capital markets. 

From a valuation perfective Angel Broking is valued at a price to earnings multiple of 26.6 times which is slightly higher than expected .The company is well placed when compared to its peers. But keeping the risks in mind, we recommend market participants to subscribe to this IPO for listing gains only. Long term investors can track the company’s performance going forward and make the decision as per their risk appetite.
