As Macquarie analyst Suresh Ganapathy upgrades the stock, LIC rises.
After upgrading the stock following its June quarter earnings, Suresh Ganapathy of Macquarie Capital Securities increased the price of Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) shares by more than 3% on August 16.
According to Macquarie, the stock’s upgrade from “neutral” to “outperform” was motivated by the scrip’s low value. The brokerage firm reduced its price objective by 15% to Rs 850 to reflect the company’s discounted valuation as a result of government ownership, but now expects less upside in the stock than in the past.
The life insurance behemoth’s 2021–22 enhanced disclosures, according to brokerage company Macquarie, also contributed to an upward revision of its embedded value and value of new business (VNB) predictions. The embedded value of a life insurer serves as a representation of its corporate value, which is significant in determining what its shareholders would receive if the company were to be sold.
