Canara HSBC Life Insurance IPO review
Advising investors to apply for the medium term, Arun Kejriwal, Founder of Kejriwal Research and Investment Services, said, “The valuations of the public issue give some room for the investors to expect some upside possibility in the stock post-listing. However, there won’t be a fly-by-night opportunity after the listing. Hence, only those investors should apply for the IPO who have a medium-term view on this Canara Bank HSBC-promoted life insurance company.”
“Despite inconsistency in the top line, the private life insurance company has reported growth in the bottom line, which may attract medium to long-term investors. The issue appears attractive and has been made available at a steep discount compared to HDFC Life Insurance. Hence, I suggest medium to long-term investors to apply for the public issue,” said Anuj Gupta, Director at Ya Wealth.
