The decline of over 5 per cent in PB Fintech’s shares (the parent company of PolicyBazaar) in the past two days presents an opportunity for long-term investors to consider buying the stock, suggest analysts. By comparison, the benchmark S&P BSE Sensex has remained flat during the same period with a negligible gain of 40 points, or 0.06 per cent.

Analysts believe that the recent selling is “overdone”, as the company behind the online insurance portal remains committed to achieving profitability, and the potential threat from the government’s online insurance portal, Bima Sugam, might be embellished.
