Asset managers and brokers earn fees on assets and activity, so revenue follows market levels and flows; treasury income can lift other income in a good market quarter. The quarterly statements do not carry assets under management, flows and the yield on assets; those come with the filing read.
On earnings per share of ₹47.17 over the last four quarters, the stock at ₹1,871.00 trades at 39.7 times trailing earnings.
