ICICI Prudential AMC IPO Listing: Should You Buy?

Shivani Nyati, head of wealth at Swastika Investmart Ltd, said, “ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company Limited made a strong debut on the stock market, listing at a premium of around 20–22% over its issue price of 2165. The company is among India’s leading asset management firms, backed by ICICI Bank and Prudential Plc, with a diversified presence across equity, debt, hybrid, and passive fund segments. Its strong brand equity, consistent investment performance, and extensive distribution network have enabled it to build a resilient and scalable asset management franchise.”

\n\n

The IPO witnessed healthy demand across investor categories, supported by the company’s strong market position, stable cash flow generation, and high return ratios. Structural tailwinds such as increasing SIP inflows, deeper penetration of mutual funds in tier-2 and tier-3 cities, and growing preference for professionally managed investments support long-term prospects, she added.

“Short-term Investors and traders may consider booking profits after the strong listing gains, while long term investor may holding the position from a medium-to-long-term perspective, keeping a stop-loss near Rs 2,350 to protect downside risk,” Nyati said.

\n\n

Brokerages remain broadly constructive on the ICICI Prudential AMC IPO, citing the company’s scale, strong equity franchise and resilient profitability. Canara Bank Securities notes that India’s mutual fund industry is still significantly underpenetrated, with the AUM-to-GDP ratio at just 19.9 per cent in FY25. The shift of individual investors towards equity-oriented schemes has supported better fee realisations and stickier assets, helping strengthen the AMC’s long-term operating profile.

The brokerage highlights the company’s rapidly expanding SIP book, with monthly systematic inflows rising to 48 billion in September 2025 from 23.5 billion in March 2023. Over FY23-FY25, average AUM, operating revenue and profit after tax all delivered robust CAGRs of around 32-33 per cent. Operating margins remained steady at 73-74 per cent, while cash flow generation held firm at 1x of PAT. It also points out that while the issue’s valuations at 40.4x FY25 and 33.1x annualised H1FY26 earnings are broadly in line with peers, the price-to-book multiple remains elevated at 27x for H1FY26 and 30x for FY25, compared with 10-14x for comparable AMCs. Even so, the brokerage has assigned a ‘Subscribe for Long Term’ rating, citing ICICI Prudential’s strong equity AUM, second-largest industry position, 20 per cent share in operating profit, consistent top-quartile fund performance, high ROE of 80 per cent and stable margins.

\n\n

Analysts at Anand Rathi share a similar view. They argue that ICICI Prudential AMC, backed by a sizeable market share, is among the most profitable asset managers in the country. At the upper end of the price band, the stock is valued at around 40x FY25 earnings — a level the brokerage considers reasonable when compared with other leading players such as HDFC AMC and Nippon Life AMC. While they believe valuations are fully priced, the firm’s long-standing performance and robust financial metrics make a compelling case. Anand Rathi recommends subscribing to the IPO from a medium- to long-term perspective.
