Groww's IPO Launches: Analysts Recommend Long-Term Investment Despite Near-Term Risks
  • Groww’s IPO kicked off on November 4, 2025, with a price band of 95-100 per share and a minimum bid of 150 shares, as the offer opens to investors.

  • Initial commentary broadly supports subscribing, citing Groww’s strong brand, active user engagement, loyalty, and in-house technical capabilities, while noting a high upper-band valuation and potential growth areas like MTM facilities, API trading, wealth management, and lending against securities.

  • Key figures show Groww’s FY25 results, expanding assets under management among retail users, and the prominent balance between OFS and fresh issue.

  • SBI Securities recommends subscribing, highlighting strong revenue and PAT growth (CAGR ~85-100% from FY23 to FY25), a large user base, diverse product offerings, and favorable sector dynamics for broking.

  • The issue comprises a fresh issue of Rs 1,060 crore and an offer for sale of Rs 5,572.30 crore, totaling Rs 6,632 crore.

  • Disclaimer: analyst views are not investment advice; readers should verify with licensed advisors before investing.

  • Subscribing is recommended for long-term investors, given the 26% market share and historical revenue growth, while noting near-term risks and FY24 one-time adjustments.

  • Analysts are mixed but generally positive on Groww’s long-term potential, cautioning about near-term valuation softness and regulatory risk impacting volume-driven growth.

  • Allocation is expected to follow the SEBI-approved structure: QIBs up to 75%, NIIs up to 15%, and retail investors up to 10%.

  • Risks highlighted include regulatory risk in F&O trading, heavy reliance on brokerage income (about 79.5% of FY25 revenue), cybersecurity/privacy concerns, and potential periods of losses or cash-flow pressure.

  • Groww’s strengths cited include a 26.27% market share in Indian demat accounts, 12.6 million active clients as of June 2025, a 44% net profit margin on ₹4,056 crore revenue in FY2025, and a mobile-first platform.

  • Analysts view the issue as fairly valued given Groww’s market position and growth, though FY24 weakness is linked to one-time tax-related accounting; long-term potential supports a subscribe view with caution on near-term upside.
