Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), the country’s largest insurance company, has announced the date for its Q3FY26 earnings results. The insurer will declare its financial performance for the December quarter on February 5, 2026. The announcement was made through an exchange filing on January 27, 2026.
On the same day, LIC’s board of directors will meet to consider and approve the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for both the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2025. Investors and market participants are closely tracking the update, given LIC’s dominant position in the Indian insurance sector.
LIC has also confirmed that the trading window for dealing in the company’s shares has been closed for insiders since January 1, 2026. This restriction will remain in place until 48 hours after the board meeting, meaning the trading window will reopen on February 7, 2026. Such closures are standard practice to prevent insider trading ahead of important financial disclosures.
In the September quarter of FY26, LIC delivered a strong performance on a year-on-year basis. The company reported a standalone net profit of ₹10,053.39 crore, marking a 32% rise compared to ₹7,620.86 crore in the same period last year.
Net premium income grew 5.5% year-on-year to ₹1.26 lakh crore. LIC’s solvency ratio improved to 2.13%, up from 1.98% a year earlier, indicating better financial strength. Assets under management rose 3.31% to ₹57.23 lakh crore, reflecting steady growth in policyholders’ funds.
However, on a sequential basis, profit after tax declined 8% from ₹10,957 crore reported in Q1FY26. Despite this, premium income increased 6% quarter-on-quarter. The value of new business climbed 12.3% to ₹5,111 crore, while the VNB margin expanded by 140 basis points to 17.6%, pointing to improving profitability metrics.
LIC shares were trading marginally higher, rising about 0.7% to an intraday high of ₹809.05. The stock remains over 17% below its peak of ₹980.05 seen in June 2025, though it is above its 52-week low of ₹715.35 recorded in March 2025.
In recent months, the stock has stayed under pressure, falling 9% over six months, 10% in three months, and 5% in one month. On a one-year basis, the shares have remained largely flat.
