Niva Bupa Health Insurance Company Ltd's growth is 24.6% from a ₹6,695 crore base, with 11 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale. Investor read: Life Insurance Corporation of India is the scale benchmark; Niva Bupa Health Insurance Company Ltd is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns. This conclusion weakens if: Life Insurance Corporation of India's growth falls below Niva Bupa Health Insurance Company Ltd's for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.

Investor read: The current leader sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

Investor read: The current leader sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it. This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current gnpa change signal. Evidence: No comparable leader | Not enough peers | Not enough history | 0/8 companies · 0 observations Definition: Lower gross NPA is better. Improvement means the ratio is falling, so ranks are intentionally inverted. ### Gross NPA — lowest ### GNPA change — fastest improvers ### 20-quarter Gross NPA history ### 20-quarter GNPA change history ## Valuation Against Growth & Quality What the numbers say: Life Insurance Corporation of India has the lowest comparable P/BV ÷ ROE at 0.08×, 80% below Go Digit General Insurance Ltd. Only 8 of 8 companies pass the guard, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree. Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy. This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/bv signal. Evidence: Life Insurance Corporation of India · 0.08× | 80% versus #2 · Go Digit General Insurance Ltd | 0/8 recent comparable periods | 8/8 companies · 65 observations Definition: Banks are compared on P/BV and P/BV÷ROE, not PEG. Lower is better only if asset quality and return durability hold; cheap book value with weakening NPAs is not automatically attractive. ### P/BV ÷ ROE — lowest return-adjusted price 1.

The page keeps level and change separate for that reason. - A high ROE can be manufactured with leverage. Read it beside ROA and asset quality. - The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed. - An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion. - Banks and lenders are not forced through operating-margin or ROCE comparisons; missing lender-specific fields remain visibly missing. - 4 companies are missing from the second-feed metrics by decision, not by absence: the two sources disagree, so nothing from the second is drawn. Read those rows as narrower evidence, never as a weaker business. - Thin comparisons: Funding base, Asset quality have fewer than three usable current readings. ## Every company - Life Insurance Corporation of India (LICI) — market value ₹5.3 L Cr; latest fundamentals Mar 2026; second-feed figures WITHHELD - SBI Life Insurance Company Ltd (SBILIFE) — market value ₹1.9 L Cr; latest fundamentals Jun 2026 - HDFC Life Insurance Company Ltd (HDFCLIFE) — market value ₹1.2 L Cr; latest fundamentals Jun 2026 - ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Ltd (ICICIPRULI) — market value ₹72.6K Cr; latest fundamentals Jun 2026 - Go Digit General Insurance Ltd (GODIGIT) — market value ₹23.7K Cr; latest fundamentals Jun 2026 - Niva Bupa Health Insurance Company Ltd (NIVABUPA) — market value ₹16.0K Cr; latest fundamentals Mar 2026; second-feed figures WITHHELD - Canara HSBC Life Insurance Company Ltd (CANHLIFE) — market value ₹14.0K Cr; latest fundamentals Jun 2026; second-feed figures WITHHELD - Religare Enterprises Ltd (RELIGARE) — market value ₹8.6K Cr; latest fundamentals Mar 2026; second-feed figures WITHHELD ## Source standing of each company Cross-checked: 4.

The Nifty Finance - Insurance index tracks India's listed Finance - Insurance companies as a single basket. This page follows the same 8 companies and equal-weights them, so every company's weekly return counts once whatever it is worth, and the reading belongs to the Finance - Insurance sector rather than to its largest constituent. Figures are as of Jun 2026. ### Which are the best Finance - Insurance stocks in India? Ranked by this page's four-factor score, Life Insurance Corporation of India places first among 8 listed Finance - Insurance companies, followed by Niva Bupa Health Insurance Company Ltd. That is a ranking of published data — earnings, quality, valuation and market behaviour as of Jun 2026 — and not a recommendation; Sector Alpha is not registered with SEBI as an investment adviser. ### How many Finance - Insurance stocks are listed in India? This comparison covers 8 listed Finance - Insurance companies in India, each above the size floor the site applies, with 20 quarters of reported figures per company where the filings exist. The full ranked list is on this page, as of Jun 2026. ### Which Finance - Insurance company is the biggest? Life Insurance Corporation of India is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month income of ₹9,78,893 crore, ahead of SBI Life Insurance Company Ltd at ₹1,19,656 crore. That covers 8 of 8 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026. ### Which Finance - Insurance company is growing fastest? Niva Bupa Health Insurance Company Ltd has the fastest income growth at 24.6% year on year, across 8 of 8 comparable companies. Fast growth off a small base is not the same as proven scale — check whether the rate holds across several quarters on the chart above before treating it as a trend. ### Which Finance - Insurance company makes the most profit? Life Insurance Corporation of India earns the most, at ₹57,426 crore of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 8 of 8 comparable companies. ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Ltd has the fastest profit growth at 35.7%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed. ### Which Finance - Insurance company earns the highest return on capital? Niva Bupa Health Insurance Company Ltd leads on return on assets at 3%, across 8 of 8 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year. ### Which Finance - Insurance stock is the cheapest? On price-to-book divided by return on equity — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Life Insurance Corporation of India screens cheapest at 0.08×. Only 8 of 8 companies pass the comparability guard, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own. ### Is the Finance - Insurance sector beating the market? Finance - Insurance has underperformed NIFTY 500 by 13.4% over the last 52 weeks and 0.8% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 2 of 7 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it. ### Which Finance - Insurance stock has the strongest price momentum? Niva Bupa Health Insurance Company Ltd has the strongest relative strength against NIFTY 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all. ### Which Finance - Insurance company scores highest for research priority? Life Insurance Corporation of India scores 66.8 out of 100 with 72.9% evidence confidence, from 21.5 points on growth and earnings, 16.6 on capital efficiency, 19.7 on valuation and 9 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research. ### How many Finance - Insurance companies does this comparison cover, and over what period? It compares 8 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals and 10 fiscal years of capital allocation, ending Jun 2026, plus weekly price and relative-strength history. Membership is the full sector list — nothing is dropped for having thin data. ### What is the total market cap of the Finance - Insurance sector? The 8 Finance - Insurance companies on this page carry ₹9,74,907 crore of combined market value. Life Insurance Corporation of India is the largest at ₹5,32,944 crore, about 55% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-07-29. ### What is the Finance - Insurance sector's P/B ratio? The median price-to-book ratio across the 8 Finance - Insurance companies on this page is 5.3×, measured on the 8 that report a comparable figure. A sector-level history for this multiple is not held here, so this is a cross-section of today, not a comparison with the sector’s own past. Figures are as of 2026-07-29. ### How is the Finance - Insurance sector performing? 2 of the 7 covered Finance - Insurance companies are beating NIFTY 500 on Mansfield relative strength. The sector itself is 13.4% behind NIFTY 500 over 52 weeks on an equal-weight index of its current members. Readings are as of 2026-07-29. ### Why are some values on this page blank? A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown. Missing observations are never interpolated, carried forward, or replaced with a similar-looking accounting line, and a company with missing evidence has its research score pulled toward neutral rather than being scored as bad. ### Is this investment advice? No. Every figure here is a deterministic calculation from reported company filings and market data, published for research. It contains no recommendation to buy or sell any security, does not account for your circumstances, and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed adviser.
