  1. 1. By compare similar listed peer group valuation (on such high priced (on both P/E & PBV basis) and thin margin basis) it demanding very High priced (at 65.61 P/E at EPS FY-17 4.42 and P/E 69.87 at avg. 3 yr. EPS of 4.15). Where other listed company ICICI Pru Life is available at Just Half P/E valuations of 33.
    2. By compare with Price to Book value HDFC demanding highest PBV of 15 while ICICI Pru life is available at PBV of 9 only.
    3. One thing also be noted that ICICI Pru life is First IPO in life insurance space and comes at 29 P/E but street and investor not give thumbs up to ICICI pru and it listed below offer price (and HDFC demanding 65 P/E). Than what is thought process of these days IPO’s, companies demanding very High P/E of 40-100. I think companies think about us (retail investor) are fools/idiot. Times came to reply these companies very hard in their own language by not subscribing single application in retail category. One thing is very clear that retail investor is now very smart and time is comes for companies to rethink about pricing.

  2. Mcap/embedded-value metric used for valuing life insurance company. if =2.5, then fully priced. for hdfc life, metric=4.15! that means highly overpriced.

    the justification being told by hdfc for steep valuation is that embedded value is growing very fast.

    • Yes u are right. If any IPO which we believe that not give us listing gain then no need to apply for IPO. Wait for listing and when available for discount rate in secondary market then purchase.

    • IN SECONDARY MKT PPL WONT BUY BUT IF ALLOTED IN IPO WILL HOLD FOR LONG TERM. THAT IS THE REASON. IF YOU HAVE MONEY YOU WILL NOT INVEST IN SCRIPTS WHICH ARE LISTING BELOW IPO PRICE & THIS IS THE MENTALITY

  3. Very good IPO For Small Cap Investors. This Is Reasonable Price compare than Other Insurance Company’s. HDFC is A good Standard and Good Ethics Banking Service. There is No doubt for Investing in HDFC Life IPO. It Will be Gold Egg In Stock Market.
