ZA ONLINE's stock surged 5.01% during intraday trading on Wednesday, driven by the release of its robust 2025 financial results and a subsequent analyst upgrade.
The company reported total premiums of RMB 35.735 billion for 2025, a year-on-year increase of 6.9%, while its adjusted net profit attributable to shareholders soared 198.3% to RMB 1.8 billion. This marked the fifth consecutive year of underwriting profitability, with both its core property and casualty insurance segment and its technology and banking divisions contributing to the strong performance.
In response to these results, BofA Securities raised its profit forecasts for ZA ONLINE for the current and next fiscal year by 5% and increased its target price from HK$15.3 to HK$16.1, reiterating a "Buy" rating. The firm cited a declining combined ratio, controlled costs, and contributions from the company's Hong Kong operations as key drivers for expected future profit growth.
