Below-average quality, screening 52% undervalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price is below even our cautious bear case (₹442.82). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.
- Solid quality (47/100) at a price below fair value, the discount is the argument here, not the business quality.
- For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis
Life Insurance Corporation (LICI) currently trades at ₹387.55, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹590.43, implying the stock looks roughly 52.4% undervalued today. We read business quality at 47/100 (below-average quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: high), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, Life Insurance Corporation generated revenue of ₹9.8T at a net margin of 6.6%. Revenue grew 14.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 42.4%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of ₹720B. Fundamentals as of Jul 16, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ₹442.82 (bear case) to ₹738.03 (bull case); at ₹387.55, the current price sits below that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 19% below its 52-week high and 7% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at 1% fair-value upside, at 52%, LICI screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 17 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models (₹951.62) versus Asset-Based (₹93.68). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
