The brokerage upgraded its earnings per share (EPS) estimates by 16 percent/23 percent for FY24/FY25 to factor in better-than-expected equity cash volumes and increasing treasury income from clearing and settlement funds. It reiterated a “neutral” rating on the stock with a one-year target price of Rs 2,250.
