The call was issued on December 14 at a closing price of Rs 706.4. According to that price, the upside was 31.72%.

The company's shares have lagged the broader market and peers due to the double whammy of declining growth and delays in structure simplification, including the delay and penalty from the regulatory end. Currently trading at 1.6x FY24E P/EV, firm shares are attributing very little structural value to such a great franchise (implied 6x FY25 VNB). According to the brokerage, once Max Financial makes success in structure simplification and shows a rebound in growth, its share price should see sustained re-rating." According to Emkay Global.

Sales were flat in Q2 at Rs 9316 crore, compared to Rs 9325 crore in the previous fiscal's corresponding quarter.
