Sharekhan’s research report on ICICI Lombard General Insurance
ICICI Lombard General Insurance (ILGI) reported steady numbers for Q4FY2021. Operational performance was largely in-line, helped by lower combined ratios. The combined ratio has been normalizing and stood at 101.8% for Q4, but on FY2021 basis, it stood at 99.8%, lower than 100.4% in FY2020. We expect the focus on diversifying into tier 3 & 4 cities is positive, and will help the company ride on growth drivers of diversifying product mix, multi-channel distribution network, backed by robust risk selection and strong investment return.
Outlook
We retain Buy with unchanged price target of Rs 1750 with reasonable valuations at 38.6x / 31x FY2022E / FY2023E EPS.
