PB Fintech Shares Rebound Amid IRDAI Commission Caps and Regulatory Changes
PB Fintech shares rebounded after a sharp decline triggered by IRDAI's proposed ban on 'dark patterns' and commission caps affecting insurance distribution. Bernstein retained an Outperform rating with a Rs 2,310 target, forecasting a 36-40% revenue and profit hit by FY28 but expects cost rationalisation to mitigate impact. Ambit Capital also sees significant commission pressure requiring cost resets, while BofA remains neutral amid regulatory uncertainty. Broader insurance stocks faced declines due to concerns over IRDAI's reforms on commissions and expenses.
