Investing.com - JPMorgan has lowered its price target on SBI Life Insurance (NSE:SBIL) Co Ltd (SBILIFE:IN) to INR2,180.00 from INR2,380.00 while maintaining an Overweight rating on the stock.
The adjustment follows SBI Life’s first-quarter fiscal 2026 results, which JPMorgan described as a "clean beat" with value of new business (VNB) growth of 12% year-over-year, slightly exceeding the firm’s estimate of 11%.
SBI Life reported a VNB margin of 27.4%, ahead of JPMorgan’s expectation of 27.0%, driven by balanced mix improvement toward participating, non-participating, and protection products, with particular strength in group protection.
The company’s distribution channels beyond its traditional network showed robust performance, with brokers, other bank partners, and web sales growing 47% year-over-year in the first quarter, while SBI Life continues investing in agency channel development by increasing branch numbers and agency headcount.
JPMorgan projects VNB growth of 17% year-over-year for SBI Life in both fiscal years 2026 and 2027, citing ongoing mix enhancement, growth across channels, and increasing product-level margins from improved rider attachment rates and dynamic re-pricing of non-participating products.
