ICICI Prudential Life Insurance's stock has faced a selloff following Prudential plc's acquisition of a controlling stake in Bharti AXA Life Insurance, raising concerns about growth and potential valuation compression. The sale of a nearly 12% stake in ICICI Prudential is feared to increase selling pressure. While some brokerages maintain positive ratings, others express caution over market-share losses and slower growth. The insurer's shift from aggressive bancassurance growth has led to a reassessment of its valuation, trading at lower multiples compared to peers.
