SBI Life Insurance, the leading life insurer in India, has experienced a decline in its stock price of 26% from its highest point in the past year. This decrease is attributed to a lackluster performance in the second quarter of the current fiscal year and concerns about regulatory scrutiny of insurance sales through the bancassurance channel, particularly involving its parent bank.
Despite the current valuation being considered expensive, analysts believe that there is a positive outlook in the medium term due to improved realizations and potential benefits from protective measures in the tyre industry and the China Plus strategy.
The company's market capitalization is Rs 143,613 crore, and the stock is currently trading at Rs 1,433.
