In FY08, PB Fintech Limited began operations as an insurance web aggregator. It then moved into the credit sector to provide easy access to credit and other financial goods. Despite the fact that the company is not listed on the exchange, the brokerage has conducted research on it.

Customers remember PB Fintech because of its overwhelming market share and great brand recall. As a result, it has become the go-to place for comparing and researching financial goods. This has allowed it to build a big customer base, as well as draw repeat business from existing consumers, thanks to its excellent product offering.

PB Fintech would continue to invest in the business, which would support the growth momentum. This coupled with improving operating metrics, would enable the company to trade at higher multiples. 

Thus, at proposed valuations of USD5-6b, the implied P/Sales multiple corresponds to 16-19x on FY24E. We believe that lower penetration, along with the adoption of digital channels, would be the key growth driver over the medium term," the brokerage has said.

"All of TTMT's three businesses are on the path to recovery. While the India CV business would see cyclical recovery, the India PV business is undergoing structural recovery. JLR is also witnessing cyclical recovery, supported by a favorable product mix. However, supply-side issues would defer the recovery process.
