The company has shown healthy long-term growth, with an annual growth rate of 32.01% in net sales and 36.30% in operating profit. In addition, Anand Rathi Wealth has declared positive results for the last 10 consecutive quarters, with its highest operating cash flow at Rs 277.57 crore and highest net sales at Rs 237.61 crore in the last quarter.

The majority shareholders of Anand Rathi Wealth are its promoters, which is a positive sign for investors. The stock has also outperformed the market (BSE 500) with a return of 118.24% in the last year, compared to the market's return of 37.10%.

However, there are some risks associated with investing in Anand Rathi Wealth. With an ROE of 34.7, the stock is currently trading at a very expensive valuation with a price to book value of 26.6. It is also trading at a premium compared to its average historical valuations. Additionally, while the stock has shown a high return of 118.24% in the last year, its profits have only increased by 34.9%, resulting in a PEG ratio of 2.1.

Overall, Anand Rathi Wealth has shown strong performance and potential for growth in the midcap segment. However, investors should carefully consider the risks associated with its current valuation before making any investment decisions.
