Life Insurance Corporation at a glance

Life Insurance Corporation trades under the ticker LICI on the NSE (National Stock Exchange of India) and is classified in the Insurance sector. This page brings together a live AI forecast, a discounted-cash-flow (DCF) valuation, and the fundamentals investors most often look at before taking a position.

Because Life Insurance Corporation sits in the Insurance space, its results tend to move with the drivers specific to that sector. The valuation framework below reflects the growth, risk and discount-rate assumptions we apply to Insurance companies rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

How we value a Insurance stock like Life Insurance Corporation

Our 3-stage DCF model projects earnings for Life Insurance Corporation using sector-calibrated growth: roughly 15.0% EPS growth in the high-growth phase (years 1–5), fading to about 10.0% (years 6–10), and a long-run terminal growth of 6.5%.

Those cash flows are discounted at an estimated cost of equity of 14.2%, built from a 7.0% risk-free rate, a sector beta of 0.85, and an equity risk premium of 8.5% (CAPM). The output is an intrinsic value per share and a "margin of safety" versus the current ₹ market price — shown live in the Valuation tab.

A below-market beta suggests Life Insurance Corporation has historically been less volatile than the broader index, which usually points to a more defensive, lower-discount-rate profile.

Key things to watch with Life Insurance Corporation

Before relying on any single number, sanity-check the inputs: is the current P/E reasonable versus Life Insurance Corporation's own history and its Insurance peers? Are earnings growing on a durable basis, or boosted by one-offs? How sensitive is the intrinsic value if growth comes in a couple of points below the sector assumption?

The AI Forecast tab adds qualitative colour — bull and bear cases, catalysts and risks — while the Valuation tab keeps the maths transparent. Treat both as a research starting point, not a recommendation.
