Expert’s take on Niva Bupa
“Robust increases in commission cost in recent years pose a risk to the continuity of improvement in future market share. At the upper price band of Rs 74, the company will be trading at a post-issue adj. P/B ratio of 4.8x for Q1FY25, which seems reasonable compared to its listed peers. Considering its strong parentage, improving market share, and profitability, we assign a “Subscribe” rating for long-term investment,” said Geojit Financial Services in an IPO note.
