Motilal Oswal Report

ICICI Securities Ltd. delivered yet another quarter of robust performance, with revenue (Rs 8.6 billion, 26% YoY) and profit after tax (Rs 3.5 billion, 26% YoY) beating our estimates by 9%.

The cost /income ratio inched up by 70 basis points sequentially to 45%, led by an 11%/34% rise in employee cost/other expenses (related to marketing cost and technology investments).

Employee cost-to-total income stood ~20% versus ~23% in FY21 and 29-32% over FY18-20.

We have raised our FY22E/FY23E earnings per share estimates of ICICI Securities by ~5%/4% to factor in higher than expected traction in margin trading facility, distribution, and investment banking segments.

Profitability should improve over the medium term with scale benefits.
