HDFC Life Insurance Reports 13% Q2 Growth; Analysts Maintain Buy Ratings
HDFC Life Insurance reported a 13% year-on-year growth in Annual Premium Equivalent (APE) for Q2 FY27, driven by strong performance in non-par and annuity segments and recovery in key distribution channels. Both Prabhudas Lilladher and Motilal Oswal research reports highlight expanded Value of New Business (VNB) margins and increased profitability, with target prices set at Rs 765 and Rs 680 respectively. While growth prospects remain positive, uncertainties around commission guidelines and high base effects may moderate future gains.
