Earlier this month, LIC completed one year of stock listing. LIC shares listed with an 8% discount at Rs 865 on May 17, 2022. One year has passed since the disappointing listing, but LIC share price is still down 30% from the listing price and over 35% down from the upper band of the IPO
LIC’s poor showing after the listing has seen small investors lose interest, with its retail investor count dropping by nearly 700,000 in just five quarters. At the IPO price, LIC was valued at Rs 6 lakh crore. On May 24, 2023 at 12 pm, its market value stood at Rs 3.8 lakh crore
"We had BUY recommendation during the IPO Subscription and after that, we have a standalone recommendation to Buy with a long term time horizon and we believe there is a huge market as far as 'Insuring the Uninsured' is concerned. This will not only create opportunities for LIC but also for the other related entities like HDFC Life, ICICI Prudential and SBI Life," said Gaurang Shah, Senior Vice President at Geojit Financial Services earlier on LIC's 1 year of listing
Gaurang Shah of Geojit Financial Services believes that there might be a slight deceleration in growth due to the concerns outlined in the Union Budget by the Finance Minister. However, considering the long-term perspective, LIC remains a sound investment
LIC is underperforming but investors should not write off this stock just yet as it is a solid player. At some point of time, once LIC starts getting some of the more profitable products going and scaling up, investors may see exceptional numbers coming through from LIC, according to Dipan Mehta, Director at Elixir Equities
Kotak Institutional Equities has a 'Buy' call on LIC stock, pegging the life insurer's stock at Rs 975 over the next 12 months. JM Financial also has a buy call on the stock with a target price of Rs 940
