The company is poised to grow on the back of its increasing top line led by strong performance of the Life Insurance Segment, new product introduction, enhancement of existing products and change in business mix. It has also streamlined its business by axing unprofitable and non-core lines. Its operational efficiency and disciplined capital management are noteworthy. Also, its increased expense driven by investment in technology will dent margins for the next several quarters. High leverage is another cause of concern." (5/21/2019)
