Outlook

SBILIFE is in a sweet spot given its strong distribution network, cost leadership and access to its parent SBI’s large customer base. Overall, we expect operating ROEV to normalize toward 18% levels with Embedded Value (EV) reflecting 16% CAGR over FY20-23E. Thus, we value the company at INR1,000/share based on 2.8x FY22E EV. We initiate coverage on SBILIFE with a Buy rating.
