Excerpted from Sharekhan's report....
 

Significant jump in trading volumes: The total (cash and derivatives) turnover of these broking companies has increased by almost 70% on a month-on-month basis, which is likely to drive their earnings in a similar fashion. Hence, Q3FY2008 earnings are likely to be far ahead of expectations.

Re-rating happening for already listed players: The brokerage stocks seem to be on fire. If we look at the business mix matrix (stated below), it is apparent that Motilal Oswal, India Infoline, JM Financial and Edelweiss are engaged in the same line of businesses. However if we look at the market capitalisation of these companies, it appears that Motilal Oswal, JM Financial and India Infoline (below the Rs7,000-crore mark) and have still some catching upto do in comparison with the valuations commanded by Edelweiss Capital.

Pie is expanding very fast so all are running hard in stock prices much like IT Services in 1999-2000 but real test will come when pie stabilizes/rationalized (may be post-2010) & then boys will be separated from Men. Some of them will be NIIT, silverline, aptech and few will attain to INFY, TCS & Wipro. But till then party should continue. M-cap rules will determine prices...

Mom and pop brokerages are facing a difficult times. It makes sense for them to sell. Edelweiss and Motilal Oswal are already doing this.

Just heard Manish Chokhani of ENAM raising a cautious voice on brokerages. He said that these companies are trading at near euphoria valuations. Yesterday Nandan Chakraborty head of research at ENAM also indicates that brokerages are levered to the economy.

Very interesting comparison of business mixes and valuation.

Indications are that Edelweiss is likely to list (provided the market holds up) at at least a 100% premium (based on grey market premium as well as my conversation with some bankers involved in the deal)...it could even be Rs.2000 per share (just look at Religare listing).

In that case, how far do you think the other stocks will get re-rated? Or, is it likely that Edelweiss will come back to the pack after the initial euphoria?

Can anyone compare market caps of Indian broekrages with their global counterparts
 
- Raymond James, $3.86b MCap, P/E 16, 2006 Revenues $2.6b.
 
- AmeriTrade, $11.2b MCap, P/E 18, 2006 Revenues $2.7b
 
- ETrade, $2.23b MCap, P/E 6, 2006 Revenues $3.8b
 
- Charles Schwab, $28.16b, P/E 11, 2006 Revenues $4.3b
 
This is stunning. These guys have the whole world as their markets and still market caps are not really that heavy except for Charles Schwab!
 
Maybe they are all growing at 10% or less annually but this is the ceiling as per global standards.

Except for Charles Schwab, all the other companies have a 10 - 15% net profit margins. I guess that's what cut-throat competition does to the margins.

Charles Schwab declared a net profit of $1b plus in 2006.

I think brokerage companies in USA have become big, but they might have been taken over a larger financial companies. Not sure about this though.
