Investec has initiated coverage on Canara HSBC Life Insurance with a ‘Buy' rating and a target price of Rs 225, calling it a “mispriced opportunity” and a relatively low-risk way to play India's structural life insurance growth.

The brokerage noted that,

  • Visible drivers for margin expansion/distribution-led scale

  • Valuations imply only modest VNB growth

  • Canara HSBC Life is a professionally run insurer

  • See levers - scale-driven operating leverage, mix tilt to higher-margin products, and higher rider attachments - to lift profitability

  • Still see 20% upside even if Canara HSBC Life's distribution at Canara Bank is capped at 50%
