This is probably the costliest issue of all the recent IPOs. The company is worth more than Adani Wilmar, Dixon Tech and IRCTC. If LIC's IPO is successful, it will become the most expensive state-owned company.
Currently, the most expensive state-owned companies are HMT (TTM PE 176), India Tourism Development Corporation (174), IRCTC (110), National Fertilizer (51), Container Corporation of India (48) and Hindustan Copper.
LIC will be the most expensive as compared to the competitors. LIC costs twice as much as the costliest insurance stocks today. As per the data provided by LIC, HDFC Life trades at 82 times, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company at 79 times and SBI Life Insurance Company at 78 times. The average PE ratio of the insurance industry is 80

Most analysts are of the view that LIC should be invested in despite its high valuations. LIC has a dominant position in the market so it gets premium. Aastha Jain of Haim Securities said the issue has an embedded value of 1.1 times its current size which is fair value.
Should I invest in LIC IPO or not?
B Gopkumar, MD & CEO, Axis Securities said that the market volatility in the near future may affect the performance of LIC stock but in the long run we are looking forward to the stock.

We asked a lot of people, everyone has to say that there is no risk in investing in this. There may be some softening due to Russia-Ukraine war but if you want to invest for long term then it can benefit you. But before subscribing to IPO, do take the advice of your financial advisor.
