Speaking on the LIC inventory, Santosh Meena, head of analysis at Swastika Investmart famous, “The issue was priced at a price to the embedded value of 1.1x, which is a discount compared to its domestic as well as global peers. This valuation discounts concerns with the company like losing market share to private players, lower profitability & revenue growth compared to private players, lower VNB margins and short term persistency ratios. However, we believe India’s highly underserved life insurance market is still in its infancy and is well-positioned to capitalize on the enormous growth potential. LIC has a number of competitive advantages, including a strong brand value, a massive network of agents, and an enviable distribution network. So, investors with a long-term view can buy this stock at CMP and follow a buy on dip strategy.”
