Life Insurance Corporation of India's share price was ₹395.50 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been falling for 7 weeks. That is 4.0% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the NIFTY 500, and it has stayed ahead for 1 week in a row. In the last 52 weeks it traded between ₹367 and ₹462, and at that close it sat 30% of the way up from that low. Over the last 4.5 years the share price moved −4% while the NIFTY 500 moved +61%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What changed at LIC this quarter? 5 points in one quarter and profit up on a year earlier for 7 quarters in a row. 1. Foreign funds (FIIs) raised their stake for 7 quarters in a row From 0.1% to 1.6% of the company by the September 2026 quarter. 2. Promoters cut their stake by 6.5 points in one quarter From 96.5% to 90% in the September 2026 quarter. 3. Profit up on a year earlier for 7 quarters in a row In the June 2026 quarter profit was ₹13,584 crore, +24% on a year earlier. Why: Profit rose because LIC sold more non-par savings and protection policies, which are more profitable. Next results: check whether non-par savings and protection policy sales keep growing.

> CEO & MD, on the call for April to June 2026

### What management guided

- APE growth expected to increase in later quarters as new-business focus builds; ULIP recovery depends on normalized market conditions. - Non-par growth and individual protection growth expected to continue over coming quarters. - Bancassurance expected to deliver better, more robust growth after delayed partner plans and remittance disruption. - GST-related assumption impact not expected to recur after the current comparison cycle.

## What to watch in LIC's next results? When LIC reports July to September 2026, these are the 4 checks that show whether the story is still on course. First: VNB margin to stay above the current quarter's level as value-accretive mix and efficiency offset any RFR normalization. - What to check (from the call)
- VNB margin to stay above the current quarter's level as value-accretive mix and efficiency offset any RFR normalization. - APE and ULIP recovery: check whether later-quarter new-business focus lifts growth without cannibalizing non-par momentum. - Bancassurance: test whether partner marketing plans and remittance conditions translate into stronger bank-channel premium growth. - Persistency and agency quality: monitor long-duration retention and whether candidate screening stabilizes agent attrition. ## Which stock lists is LIC on?

## Is LIC profitable? Life Insurance Corporation of India earned ₹13,584 Cr of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +24.0% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 7th quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹57,453 Cr. Over 7 years profit has grown 55.4% a year on average. That is 5.7% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹10,955 Cr. For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹57,453 Cr (+18.9% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +6.8% on a year earlier and the margin moved +0.8 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +23.8% and revenue +10.2%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra rupee of revenue adds more to profit. ## How much revenue does LIC make, and is it growing? Life Insurance Corporation of India reported ₹2,39,866 Cr of income in the Jun 2026 quarter, +6.8% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 6th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 7 years it has grown 8.0% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹9,77,772 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹9,94,088 Cr. FY26 revenue was ₹9,77,772 Cr, +9.9% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +10.2% on average, against 8.0% 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 +10.1%, against +7.0% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew +23.3%, against +19.8% a year (accelerating). ## How much does LIC keep from what it earns? Life Insurance Corporation of India's net margin was 5.7% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 0.8 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 8 years it has been between 0.4% and 5.9%. 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. As noted under valuation: when margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so a low multiple can mislead. ## How many of LIC's loans have gone bad? Life Insurance Corporation of India 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 LIC's loan book growing? Life Insurance Corporation of India's revenue was ₹9,77,772 Cr in FY26, +9.9% on the year before, so the loan book is growing. The latest quarter was +6.8% on a year earlier. The net margin on that income is 5.7%, +0.8 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 LIC's P/BV ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Life Insurance Corporation of India's P/BV is 2.8×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 3% of the time. Its usual P/BV (the middle reading) is 6.4×, over 4.1 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Keep one thing in mind: the net margin is the best this company has ever reported. A multiple that looks low against its own past can mislead when profit is at a record. If margins fall back, today's multiple is higher than it looks. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year book value grew while the price moved −11.6%. Price and book value moved together, so the multiple stayed in its range. Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved +9.2% a year; about +40.9% a year came from book-value growth and about −31.7 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. The PEG ratio and its quarterly curve, which only the second data source has, are not shown on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 120% on reported income across 15 comparable periods. When two sources disagree on a figure, we leave it out on purpose. The gap is a choice, not missing data. ## Is the LIC business getting better or worse? Life Insurance Corporation of India's business is getting better. EPS growth hit its low 7 quarters ago at −8.6% and has recovered to +23.3%. This is based on 8 quarters of 3 measures, with some gaps. Why it matters: a lasting rise from a low is what this page is built to show. This reading has some gaps: at least one line is short, or the return line is not the quarterly series, so treat it with a little more caution. ## How much does LIC earn on its equity and assets? We do not have a clean yearly return-on-equity history for Life Insurance Corporation of India. 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. The quarterly return-on-equity and return-on-assets curves, which only the second data source has, are not shown on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 120% on reported income across 15 comparable periods. When two sources disagree on a figure, we leave it out on purpose. The gap is a choice, not missing data. ## Does LIC 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 LIC shareholding pattern? Promoters cut their stake in Life Insurance Corporation of India by 6.5 percentage points over 8 quarters, the biggest change among its owners. Promoters now own 90.0% of the company. Domestic institutions moved +5.0 points over the same period, to 6.2%. This uses the four owner groups that companies report every quarter; nothing is guessed between filings. Over the last two years: Promoters: −6.5 points over 8 quarters, to 90.0%; Domestic institutions: +5.0 points over 8 quarters, to 6.2%; Foreign institutions: +1.4 points over 8 quarters, to 1.6%. Why the owners changed: promoters drove it (−6.5 points), with the other side taken by domestic institutions (+5.0 points). They reduced their stake. ## How far is LIC from balance-sheet trouble? For Life Insurance Corporation of India, 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 LIC rank in its industry? 72.6 out of 100, rank 1 of 8 in Finance - Insurance, with 73% of the evidence available. Life Insurance Corporation of India scores 72.6 out of 100 against the 8 companies it is compared with in Finance - Insurance, ranking 1. 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: 19.6 + 17.3 + 19.7 + 16 = 72.6. 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 LIC compared with?

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. 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.
