Finance - Insurance, equal-weighted, based at 200 NIFTY 500, same base, same start trailing 12-month earnings per share rising falling

Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the sector line is an equal-weighted index of its 8 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the sector taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.

03 · sector relative strength, before individual stocks

Is Finance - Insurance outperforming NIFTY 500?

Finance - Insurance has underperformed NIFTY 500 by 5.5% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a lead of 0.7%. 2 of 7 covered companies currently beat NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. Niva Bupa Health Insurance Company Ltd is the strongest against the sector itself at +7.4%.

The central tension: the companies with the most scale are not necessarily the companies creating the most change.

Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.

Bottom line

Finance - Insurance has underperformed NIFTY 500 by 5.5% over 52 weeks and 0.7% over 13 weeks. 2 of 7 covered companies beat NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, while 3 of 7 beat the sector itself. Life Insurance Corporation of India leads with income of ₹9,94,088 crore, based on 8 of 8 comparable companies through Jun 2026.

4-Factor Sector Score

An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.

Growth & earnings · 35%Capital efficiency · 25%Valuation · 20%Relative strength · 20%
Life Insurance Corporation of India has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 66.6% evidence confidence.
Niva Bupa Health Insurance Company Ltd has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.
How this score is built, and what the marks mean

Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. Financial companies use P/BV÷ROE and asset quality; PEG, industrial OPM and ROCE are excluded. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led NIFTY 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led NIFTY 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

05 · what price has already done

Market action

Religare Enterprises Ltd has the strongest one-year price move in Finance - Insurance at +1.4%. It also leads on Mansfield relative strength against NIFTY at +8%. 2 of 7 covered companies are above zero on that measure. Every line covers 313 weekly closes through 2026-09-11.

Price and relative strength

Every company, the sector's own index and NIFTY 500 all start level on the left edge of the window, so only the distance between the lines counts — the highest line has risen the most since then, and the chart at the top of this page is drawn the same way. It opens on one year; the buttons beside it stretch that to three or five.

06 · the story behind the numbers

Finance - Insurance — the story behind the numbers

This is the written read behind the Finance - Insurance figures above — what is actually happening in the sector, in words, with the evidence each claim rests on. It is dated 19 Apr 2026, so the words are older than the numbers. 1 theme is live here.

The sector is successfully navigating a transition to high-margin non-par products, resulting in superior PAT growth despite moderate premium growth. While regulatory headwinds regarding GST and RBC transition persist, the operational efficiency gains and margin expansion provide a strong buffer for future earnings.

The life insurance sector, as represented by LICI in 9MFY26, is undergoing a structural shift toward profitability over pure volume. LICI reported a PAT of ₹33,998 Crore, a 16.68% YoY increase that significantly outpaced its 9.02% revenue growth. This divergence is primarily explained by margin expansion, with the net VNB margin climbing to 18.8%.

How old this read is: STALE — this read comes from our Finance - Insurance sector brief dated 19 Apr 2026, about 5 months ago. The page says so rather than dressing it up, and a fresh sector dive replaces it the day it runs.

Income Scale & Growth Durability

Life Insurance Corporation of India has the highest Income among the 8 Finance - Insurance companies compared here, at ₹9,94,088 crore. SBI Life Insurance Company Ltd is next at ₹1,19,656 crore. Niva Bupa Health Insurance Company Ltd has the highest Income growth at 27.9%, so level and change sit with different companies.

What the numbers say: Life Insurance Corporation of India is the scale leader at ₹9,94,088 crore, 730.8% ahead of SBI Life Insurance Company Ltd. Niva Bupa Health Insurance Company Ltd's growth is 27.9% from a ₹7,907 crore base, with 12 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

Coverage8/8 companies · 108 observations

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.

For lenders, reported income is used instead of industrial-company sales. Growth is compared year-on-year.

Investor read: Life Insurance Corporation of India 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 profit growth signal.

Net profit is ranked only where the comparison base is economically meaningful. Loss-to-profit flips are shown but do not win the growth table.

Funding Base & Its Composition

No company in this Finance - Insurance comparison reports a funding base figure this section can compare, so the Deposits rank is empty. On Borrowings, HDFC Life Insurance Company Ltd is highest at ₹3,099 crore, across 8 of 8 companies with a usable reading.

What the numbers say: There is not enough comparable evidence to name a reliable deposits leader.

LeaderNo comparable leader
GapNot enough peers
PersistenceNot enough history
Coverage0/8 companies · 0 observations

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 borrowings signal.

For banks, debt is operating funding rather than industrial leverage. Deposits and borrowings are therefore shown as funding-base levels; asset quality, funding cost and liquidity determine whether that funding is attractive.

Gross NPA — Leaders & Improvers

No company in this Finance - Insurance comparison reports gross NPA on a comparable basis, so there is nothing to rank here — 0 of 8 companies have a usable current reading. The section is shown rather than removed so an unavailable metric is not mistaken for one that was quietly left out. Filings were read through Jun 2026.

Lower gross NPA is better. Improvement means the ratio is falling, so ranks are intentionally inverted.

Withheld from this comparison: Life Insurance Corporation of India (LICI) — its two data sources disagree by up to 120% on reported income across 15 comparable periods, so its derived ratios are withheld; Niva Bupa Health Insurance Company Ltd (NIVABUPA) — its two data sources disagree by up to 860% on reported income across 11 comparable periods, so its derived ratios are withheld; Religare Enterprises Ltd (RELIGARE) — its two data sources disagree by up to 41% on reported income across 14 comparable periods, so its derived ratios are withheld. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality

Life Insurance Corporation of India has the lowest P/BV ÷ ROE among the 8 Finance - Insurance companies compared here, at 0.08×. ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Ltd is next at 0.4×. The same company also holds the lowest P/BV, at 2.89×. 8 of 8 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.

What the numbers say: Life Insurance Corporation of India has the lowest comparable P/BV ÷ ROE at 0.08×, 80% below ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Ltd. Only 8 of 8 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree.

LeaderLife Insurance Corporation of India · 0.08×
Gap80% versus #2 · ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Ltd
Persistence0/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage8/8 companies · 68 observations

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.

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.

What can make this comparison misleading?

This Finance - Insurance comparison names 7 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 8 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. 3 have second-feed figures withheld because the two sources disagree. 2 of the 7 ranked sections have fewer than three usable current readings.

Keep these limits visible

  • A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. 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.
  • 3 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.

How was this comparison built?

This comparison is built from the reported filings of 8 Finance - Insurance companies, normalized to a common ₹ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-09-11. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.

Derived metricsGrowth, changes and P/BV÷ROE are calculated only when their inputs are comparable.
Score confidenceMissing and stale evidence reduces confidence and pulls the 0–100 research-priority score toward neutral.
Source standing5 cross-checked · 0 unverified · 3 withheld, of 8 graded companies.
How a second data feed is admitted, and what happens when it disagrees

A second feed is read only after its reported income is matched against the primary source on at least three overlapping periods. Where the two agree the figures fill silently. Where there is too little shared history to compare, the figures are still drawn — they are the only evidence there is — and marked ⚠ unverified everywhere they appear. Where the two are known to disagree, nothing from the second feed is drawn and the affected company is named under the chart it is missing from.

Finance - Insurance company comparison FAQs

These 23 answers restate the Finance - Insurance comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 8 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-09-11. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.

Is the Finance - Insurance sector outperforming NIFTY 500?

How much history does this Finance - Insurance comparison include?

The page compares up to 20 reported quarters per company for fundamentals, returns and valuation, ending Jun 2026. Missing observations remain blank rather than being estimated.

How is the 4-Factor Sector Score calculated?

The four visible contributions add directly: growth and earnings up to 35 points, capital efficiency up to 25, valuation up to 20, and relative strength up to 20. Missing or stale evidence moves only the affected contribution toward neutral.

Is there a Nifty Finance - Insurance index?

NSE India maintains Nifty indices for several broad sector categories — Nifty Bank, Nifty IT, Nifty Pharma and others — but not for every sub-sector grouping on this site. Whether or not an official Nifty index covers Finance - Insurance, this page builds its own equal-weight basket of 8 listed Finance - Insurance companies — one company, one vote, regardless of market value — so no single large company dominates the reading. 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 ICICI Prudential Life 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 makes the most profit?

Life Insurance Corporation of India earns the most, at ₹60,055 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?

Go Digit General Insurance Ltd leads on return on assets at 2.2%, across 5 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×. All 8 companies qualify for the ratio comparison. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.

Finance - Insurance has underperformed NIFTY 500 by 5.5% over the last 52 weeks and 0.7% 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?

Religare Enterprises 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 72.1 out of 100 with 66.6% evidence confidence, from 22.7 points on growth and earnings, 16.5 on capital efficiency, 20 on valuation and 12.9 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, 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 ₹9,25,546 crore of combined market value. Life Insurance Corporation of India is the largest at ₹5,11,186 crore, about 55% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-09-17.

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 5.1×, 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 2026-09-17.

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 5.5% behind NIFTY 500 over 52 weeks on an equal-weight index of its current members. Readings are as of 2026-09-17.

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.
