Stable

While long-term compounding remains intact, the sharp sequential drop in net profit due to lower non-operating income creates a neutral short-term outlook.

The structural trend of financialization in India supports a positive long-term outlook for the AMC sector, though Q4 results highlight vulnerability to market-linked 'Other Income' volatility.
