The AMC manages Rs 11.2 lakh crore in mutual fund assets and holds a 13.4% market share.

The recommendations are based on the research desk's analysis and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Times of India. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Brokerage-backed stock picks flood Indian news during market hours, but retail investors rarely have access to the research behind them. Motilal Oswal Wealth is a mid-tier domestic wealth manager, not a top-tier sell-side house, so its target prices carry less weight than those from Morgan Stanley or CLSA. Crompton Greaves is pivoting from fans and pumps into higher-margin categories like solar and water purifiers, a diversification that dilutes its legacy valuation but also lifts its addressable market. ICICI Prudential AMC benefits from India's structural mutual fund penetration story, yet its alternatives business, growing at 50%, already accounts for one-tenth of revenue. The real test for both stocks will be their next quarterly results due in October 2026. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Leads with detailed broker targets and company financials, no critical questioning of assumptions or disclaimer buried at bottom.
