Axis Securities' IPO Report

Given the under-penetration of life insurance in India, the higher protection gap, and the improving financialisation of savings, we expect Life Insurance Corporation of India to maintain its market leadership position adequately supported by good business traction.

Furthermore, LIC intends to increase its share of high-margin non-par products to improve its margins which will augur well for the company over the long term.

Additionally, the company's new business premium/annual premium equivalent growth has witnessed a strong rebound, enabling it to gain market share in Q4 FY22.

We believe LIC would trade at attractive valuations as at the upper end of the price band, the stock would trade at ~1.1 times market cap/enterprise (H1 FY22 embedded ) versus the industry average of approx. three times.
