Market Focus05-26

On May 26, China Life Insurance rose 3.32% in regular trading, trading at HKD 29.58/share, with trading volume of HKD 442 million. The stock rebounded after hitting 60-day lows in prior sessions, driven by China Ping An's continued accumulation of shares and a broader insurance sector recovery.

According to Hong Kong Stock Exchange disclosures, on May 20 China Ping An increased its holdings in China Life H-shares by 43.835 million shares at an average price of approximately HKD 29.25 per share, totaling approximately HKD 1.282 billion. Following the purchase, Ping An's combined holdings through Ping An Life, Ping An Property & Casualty, and Ping An Pension now total approximately 1.2 billion shares, with its stake surpassing 16.12%. From April 13 to May 20, Ping An accumulated a net increase of 409 million China Life H-shares, spending over HKD 11 billion. The market interprets this as a long-term allocation strategy based on low valuation combined with high dividend yield.

Within the Life & Health Insurance sector, NCI rose 3.12%, China Taiping rose 2.45%, Ping An rose 0.33%, while AIA fell 1.1% and Yunfeng Financial fell 1.36%.
