ICICI Lombard stock was last at INR 1,598.30 on the NSE on October 6, 2026 at 3:15 p.m. IST, down 0.11 percent for the session. The insurer now approaches an October 14 board meeting that will consider half-year results and an interim dividend.

October 14 brings two decisions

According to an NSE filing dated September 28, 2026, ICICI Lombard will review audited financial results for the quarter and half-year ended September 30, 2026 on October 14, 2026. The same meeting will consider an interim dividend for fiscal year 2027, making the upcoming announcement the clearest near-term company event.

The company is listed on the NSE under ticker ICICIGI, and its investor-relations page identifies it as a private-sector general insurer serving motor, health, travel and home customers.

Profit fell as claims increased

ICICI Lombard reported Q1 FY27 profit after tax of INR 4.0 billion, down 46 percent year over year, according to DSIJ in a report dated July 15, 2026. Gross written premium increased 10 percent to INR 88.6 billion, while net earned premium rose 16 percent to INR 59.5 billion.

The underwriting signal was weaker: the combined ratio reached 107.2 percent in Q1 FY27, compared with 102.9 percent in Q1 FY26. A ratio above 100 percent means claims and operating costs exceeded earned premiums, so investment income remains important while management works on underwriting performance.

Broker target stays above the quote

DSIJ reported that Motilal Oswal Financial Services downgraded ICICI Lombard to Neutral on July 15, 2026 and set a price target of INR 1,960. The broker cited the higher combined ratio and limited visibility on pricing, commissions and motor own-damage profitability.

That concern sits alongside a substantial listed equity value. The October 6 market capitalization was INR 798.1 billion, while trading volume reached 333,740 shares and the 52-week range stood at INR 1,423.10 to INR 2,064.90.

ICICI Lombard stock remains below its yearly high

At INR 1,598.30, the stock was 22.6 percent below its 52-week high of INR 2,064.90 on October 6, 2026. The next reported results will show whether premium growth is translating into better claims and underwriting economics.
