Recommendation

As per CA Ajay Chouhan, SEBI Registered Research Analyst, recommendation is to ‘Subscribe’. The Computer Age Management Services (CAMS) Limited as a registrar and transfer agent claims to carry an aggregate market share of 70 percent (approx.) based on mutual fund average assets under management (AAUM) managed by its clients and serviced by them till July 2020. With the availability of single competitor and that too in unlisted space, the company is likely to enjoy the valuations of a monopoly company on the Indian bourses. The company is backed up by National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Warburg Pincus New York based private equity firm, which makes it a more promising one. At a P/E multiple of 44.85 (considering the EPS = 26.75 of FY19), the issue price seems to be fairly valued.

Promoter of the Company

The promoter of the company is Great Terrain Investment Ltd.

Peer Comparison

In the listed space, the company will enjoy a decent premium due to its monopoly feature but in the unlisted arena, the company faces competition from Karvy Fintech (now named as 'KFintech') and Franklin Templeton Asset Management (India) Pvt Ltd. (FTAMIL). Whil, the whole market is dominated by CAMS and KFintech as FTAMIL caters investors of Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund only.
