Ashika Research View on LIC IPO:

Going ahead, LIC will likely to strengthen its omni-channel distribution network for individual products and increase its productivity.

India’s life insurance penetration stood at 3.2% in CY 2020 compared to the global average of 3.3%. Besides, protection gap for India was 83% as of CY 2019, the highest amongst all countries in Asia-Pacific. Thus, clearly there’s room for every player in the industry to grow without adopting cannibalism. 

At the upper priced band of Rs 949, the issue is valued at 1.1x EV (Sep’21) which is at a significant discount to private sector valuations and investors are advised to ‘SUBSCRIBE’ to the issue

There will be some pressure on LIC’s market share in the near term it is unlikely to go below 50 percent as it has strong brand recall, says Gupta

Implications of LIC listing on insurance sector:Jefferies
We believe, LIC’s listing will broaden investible universe and further raise sector’s relevance in investor’s portfolio. It will also help investors to better track sector dynamics as LIC disclosures become frequent. LIC has recalibrated its par and non par products ahead of the listing.

LIC is important for the government to meet its divestment targets: UBS
Besides SOE stock ownership, LIC is an important entity for the government in many ways. LIC owns over 19% of all government bonds (centre + states) making it bigger than the RBI, and surpassed only by the commercial banking system (who need to hold government bonds per regulations). Post listing, LIC would be the largest investment in the government’s portfolio of listed equities—43% of US$377bn in AUM. This is important from the point of view of government budget financing through divestments. At its valuation, proceeds from LIC would help meet the budgeted divestment target for FY22 (Rs780bn). There would be further dilution in the coming years (totaling US$8.6bn in two years and US$34bn in five years, at the current media-reported valuation). Assuming sufficient demand for this supply (not an easy assumption given the scale of these numbers), a decent chunk of the government’s divestment cash flows could be sustained by repeated dilutions in LIC.

Impact of pandemic on LIC
LIC was adversely impacted by the pandemic, especially in terms of sale of individual policies during all the three waves. For instance, sales of individual policies declined 22.7% to 6.35mn policies in Q4FY20 from 8.21mn in Q4FY19. Death claims also increased during the pandemic. For FY19, FY20, FY21 and 9MFY22, claims by death (net) totalled Rs 170bn, Rs 173bn, Rs 235bn and Rs 293bn respectively (consolidated basis) – these amounted to 6.72%, 6.79%, 8.14% and 12.49% of total benefits paid (net) respectively. Thus, any future Covid’19 waves could be detrimental to growth and normal operations.
