Emkay initiates coverage on Star Health with BUY
- We initiate coverage on STAR HEALTH with a Buy rating and a Mar’23 TP of Rs 1,135 (+25% upside). Our TP implies a valuation multiple of 47x FY25E EPS and a FY25 P/GWP of 2.9x. Our high-conviction Buy on Star Health is underpinned by three factors:
- Health insurance industry is still in its infancy – we expect heady growth rates of ~20% in the next decade
- Star Health’s dominant market share (3x nearest competitor) in the sticky retail sector offers network effects – trio of hospitals, customers and agents feed off each other in a virtuous cycle. Sub-scale competitors will struggle to outdo this moat
- We expect margin gains with scale. We estimate Star Health’s GWP to see a 25% CAGR through FY25. Unit economics are extremely favorable – we expect ROE of 18%+ as claims normalize in a 66-67% band (after Covid-19 hump), capping combined ratio at 94-95%.
- We apply a DCF model to arrive at our Mar’23E TP of Rs1,135. We are of the view that investors should not be deterred by high valuations, which are rightfully anchored to STARHEALTH’s nearly unassailable position in a high-growth industry.

Tega industry is debuting the secondary market on expected line as the grey market was indicating a listing gain of 65-70%. The fundamentals of the company are very sound and the outlook for the industry is also bullish therefore long-term investors should hold this company into their portfolio while those who applied for listing gain can keep a stop loss at Rs 690.

Friday’s close was just at the brink of 17,500 which was a positive sign. If we can keep above this level today, the markets are heading higher to levels closer to 18,200. This is also a point where the Nifty may resist and if that happens there could be a knee jerk reaction on the reverse side. Hence, today’s closing is imperative.
