Anticipating a promising debut of Go Digit shares on Dalal Street, VLA Ambala, Founder of Stock Market Today, remarked, “Go Digit General Insurance Limited has demonstrated remarkable growth, with a 113.35% surge in revenue and a 112.01% rise in PAT between March 31, 2022, and March 31, 2023. The company’s assets also expanded from Rs.1,874.80 crore in 2021 to Rs.3,346.75 crore in 2023 and reported a net profit of Rs.35.54 crore for the first time. With reserves and surplus amounting to Rs.2,391.97 crore and total borrowings of Rs.200 crore, it appears to be in a sound financial position. However, its IPO seems to be priced aggressively based on its FY24 annualized earnings. According to analysis, its listing might be subdued or at a moderate 5-15% premium.”

It also has plans to expand and diversify its distribution network to enhance customer reach and generate new business. Its advanced technology empowers it to underwrite efficiently.
