I think your definitely wrong. i mean, on the NSE, this is the cheapest stock fundamentally and also as a business, it has enormous value. For the past 5 years, its has had an average underwriting margin of 3% and investment income in the last 3 years has averaged 1,040,091,626.
Net premiums have averaged 2,900,000,000. So basing on that, its a good float generator and currently float stands at about 10,000,000,000/-. so thats a good thing. With a price to book ratio of 0.6. I guess it would be a good buy. So load some more.
