Can They Surpass Its Issue Price?"},"content":{"rendered":"\n
The price of LIC shares increased today and by midday on Thursday, it had reached a fresh 52-week high of \u20b9791.90 per share. The LIC share price is still a long way from its \u20b9949 issue price, though.<\/pre>\n\n\n

Life Insurance Corporation’s (LIC) share price has been rising since it hit a lifetime low of \u20b9530.05 on the NSE on March 31, 2023. When LIC shares reached a low point at the close of FY23, Dalal Street bulls showed a great deal of interest in purchasing them. LIC stock appears to still have some traction, nevertheless.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stock market experts claim that the price of LIC shares broke out at \u20b9698 per share and has since experienced a strong upward trend after holding over \u20b9700. They stated that because insurance companies record higher quarterly earnings in the second half of the financial year, the market is anticipating better Q3 and Q4 numbers from the insurance behemoth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Market analysts continued by saying that LIC shares are projected to rise strongly and reach levels of \u20b9840 per share shortly, while in the long term, they are anticipated to reach levels of \u20b9940 to \u20b9950 per share, which is the price at which the maximum price range of the LIC IPO was defined (\u20b9949).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LIC IPO Details<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In May 2022, Life Insurance Corporation of India made its initial public offering (IPO), with equity shares priced between \u20b9902 and \u20b9949. The public offering was priced at a discount, with each equity share trading for \u20b9867 on the BSE and \u20b9872 on the NSE. The suffering of the allottees did not, however, end here as the price of LIC’s shares continued to plummet, reaching a record low of \u20b9530.05 per share by the end of March 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n

Insurance Business Is There To Back LIC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
According to Saurabh Jain, Vice President of Research at SMC Global Securities, “LIC of India is the biggest insurer in India, and there is no doubt about the strength of LIC as a company.” This explains why the share price of LIC is on the rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In general, the third and fourth quarters of a fiscal year see higher business volume for insurance companies as individuals purchase additional policies to reduce their income tax liability. Thus, the market anticipates that LIC will release stronger results in the second half of the current fiscal year. LIC shares are currently the subject of heavy making wagers by investors due to their discounted price.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
