Nomura Lowers PB Fintech Target Price, Maintains Neutral Rating Amid Commission Changes
Nomura has lowered its target price for PB Fintech shares to Rs 1,100 from Rs 1,590, maintaining a 'Neutral' rating amid proposed insurance commission reforms. The brokerage revised its financial model, assuming PB Fintech exits the point-of-sales person business, leading to cuts in insurance premiums and net profit estimates for FY28 and FY29. Nomura projects EBITDA margins to decline in FY28 before recovering in FY29 and outlined scenarios where higher commission caps could improve revenue and profit forecasts.
