## Is HDFC Life profitable? HDFC Life Insurance Company Ltd earned ₹522 Cr of net profit in the Sep 2026 quarter, +16.5% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 3rd quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹1,912 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown 8.9% a year on average. That is 2.1% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹448 Cr. For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹1,912 Cr (+5.6% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +18.3% on a year earlier and the margin moved −0.1 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +8.0% and revenue +21.3%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth. ## How much revenue does HDFC Life make, and is it growing? HDFC Life Insurance Company Ltd reported ₹24,437 Cr of income in the Sep 2026 quarter, +18.3% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 2nd quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 10 years it has grown 18.5% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹99,432 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹1,07,514 Cr. FY26 revenue was ₹99,432 Cr, +2.6% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +21.3% on average, against 18.5% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +17.4%, against −1.3% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew +8.2%, against +10.0% a year (stabilising). ## How much does HDFC Life keep from what it earns? HDFC Life Insurance Company Ltd's net margin was 2.1% in the Sep 2026 quarter, 0.1 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 years it has been between 1.6% and 4.5%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why: the net margin move is clear, but the cost details behind it are not in our data, so we show the move without guessing the reason. ## How many of HDFC Life's loans have gone bad? HDFC Life Insurance Company Ltd does not report loan-quality figures this page can read, so this section says so rather than guess. No bad-loan figures are filed in a form this page can read, and none are guessed from the profit line. The income, margin and return sections carry what this business does report. Why: loan quality drives a lender, but its details (new bad loans, recoveries, money set aside) are not in our data for this company. The sections around this one carry what we can back up. ## How fast is HDFC Life's loan book growing? HDFC Life Insurance Company Ltd's revenue was ₹99,432 Cr in FY26, +2.6% on the year before, so the loan book is growing. The latest quarter was +18.3% on a year earlier. The net margin on that income is 2.1%, −0.1 percentage points on a year ago. Interest income stands in for the size of the loan book; changes in interest rates can move it a few points in any year. In short: a lender grows well when its loan book grows, its margin stays steady and its loans stay clean. Gross NPA is the loan-quality figure this page uses. ## What is HDFC Life's P/BV ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? HDFC Life Insurance Company Ltd's P/BV is 5.9×, about the lowest it has ever been. Its usual P/BV (the middle reading) is 10.7×, over 8.5 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is low: this lender earns about 11% a year on its equity. A lender that earns less on its net worth is valued lower for each rupee of it, and that gap usually closes only if returns improve. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year book value grew while the price moved −28.9%. Price and book value moved together, so the multiple stayed in its range. Where the price move came from: over 5 years the price moved −5.2% a year; about +15.2% a year came from book-value growth and about −20.4 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying less). The split is approximate (price return minus book-value growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is low against its own past, so the book value trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the HDFC Life business getting better or worse? HDFC Life Insurance Company Ltd's business is giving mixed signals. Growth has been steadily positive, but ROE at 10.5% is below the 12% level needed to call it steady growth. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: when the lines disagree, each line above matters more than any single label. ## How much does HDFC Life earn on its equity and assets? We do not have a clean yearly return-on-equity history for HDFC Life Insurance Company Ltd. For an insurer in particular, the usual bank ratios do not fit, so this page does not force them or estimate a series. The revenue, margin and ownership sections show what this company does report. ## Does HDFC Life have too much debt? For a bank, borrowing is the raw material of the business, not a warning sign: it borrows money in order to lend it out. Its safety is read through its returns and its loans. Its safety is read from the bad-loan figures and the return on equity instead. For a manufacturer, debt is a claim on its profits. For a lender it is the stock it trades in, so the usual debt-to-equity test would mislead and is not used here. ## What is the HDFC Life shareholding pattern? Domestic institutions raised their stake in HDFC Life Insurance Company Ltd by 7.3 percentage points over 8 quarters, the biggest change among its owners. Domestic institutions now own 20.5% of the company. Foreign institutions moved −6.9 points over the same period, to 18.8%. This uses the four owner groups that companies report every quarter; nothing is guessed between filings. Over the last two years: Domestic institutions: +7.3 points over 8 quarters, to 20.5%; Foreign institutions: −6.9 points over 8 quarters, to 18.8%; Promoters: +0.2 points over 8 quarters, to 50.5%. Why the owners changed: foreign institutions moved −6.9 points and domestic institutions +7.3 points over 8 quarters, while promoters stayed about the same. One group of institutions took over shares from the other; it is not a change of mind by the people running the company. ## How far is HDFC Life from balance-sheet trouble? For HDFC Life Insurance Company Ltd, the Z-score is not used, because it was built for manufacturers, not lenders. For a lender, safety is read from its capital and bad-loan figures instead. ## How does HDFC Life rank in its industry? 40.8 out of 100, rank 6 of 8 in Finance - Insurance, with 67% of the evidence available. HDFC Life Insurance Company Ltd scores 40.8 out of 100 against the 8 companies it is compared with in Finance - Insurance, ranking 6. The evidence is balanced: no factor stands out, so another reported quarter is needed before the picture is clearer. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 16.2 + 10.8 + 6.3 + 7.5 = 40.8. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if ROA turns down or gross NPA rises while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is HDFC Life compared with?

Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. 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 path the industry 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 growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.
