Star Health IPO Valuation, Should You Subscribe?

Choice Broking: Pandemic despite positively impacting business growth, has impacted the profitability severely. In the future occurrence of a new virus wave or the emergence of a new variant will be a concern for profitability.

However, the risk will be lower as compared to levels witnessed during H1 FY22. The peers considered for benchmarking the valuation operate in the general insurance market and health insurance is one of their various offerings. Thus these can be considered as proxy peers.

At a higher price band of Rs. 900, Star Health is demanding an MCAP-to-net premium earned multiple of 10.3x, which is a premium to the peer average.

Moreover, the demanded valuations is at elevated premium to recent capital issuance. Thus considering the above observations, we assign a “Subscribe with Caution” rating for the issue.

ICICI Direct Research: Star is a leading player in the health insurance industry with a strong distribution network, diversified product suite.

At the upper end of the price band, the company is valued at 5.9x AUM as of September 30, 2021. We assign a UNRATED rating to the IPO.
