Global rating agency AM Best has revised its outlook on ICICI Lombard to positive from stable while affirming its Financial Strength Rating of B++ (Good) and Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of bbb+ (Good). The India National Scale Rating of aaa.IN (Exceptional) was also affirmed with a stable outlook. AM Best cited very strong balance sheet strength, strong operating performance, neutral business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management as the basis for the ratings. The positive outlook reflects expectations that balance sheet fundamentals will continue to strengthen over the near to medium term, supported by robust capital generation. ICICI Lombard is the second-largest non-life insurer in India with 8.7% market share and a five-year average return on equity of 17.3%.
This is a positive development for shareholders as the outlook upgrade signals strengthening fundamentals and potential for further rating improvement, which could enhance investor confidence and lower future borrowing costs.
