Sharekhan's research report on HDFC Life Insurance Company
HDFC Life reported a mixed set of numbers, wherein VNB margins lagged estimates while APE growth was marginally above estimates driven by higher sales from ULIP segment (+132% y-o-y in Q4). VNB margins fell by ~320 bps y-o-y reported at 26.1% in Q4FY24, hit by an adverse product mix and negative operating leverage due to a large one-off in the base period. The company is targeting APE growth at the higher end of the industry level of 12–15% in FY25 and given the competitive intensity it could settle for slightly lower margins prioritizing growth.
