Movement Alert|New China Life Insurance Falls 3.15% in Regular Trading, Insurance Sector Resumes Weakness After Brief Post-Holiday Rebound

Market Focus06-24

On June 24, New China Life Insurance (01336.HK) fell 3.15% in regular trading, trading at HKD 49.6/share, with turnover of HKD 102 million. The stock resumed its downward trend after the insurance sector posted a brief one-day rebound following the Dragon Boat Festival holiday.

The insurance sector broadly extended its weak pattern, with China Taiping down 3.69%, China Life down 3.21%, Ping An down 2.05%, and Sunshine Insurance down 1.38%. The market remains concerned about insurers' investment income outlook — New China Life's Q1 total investment income plunged 57% year-over-year, with profit growth primarily driven by expense reductions rather than investment-side improvement. The company's relatively high equity asset allocation further pressures profit expectations amid elevated Q2 market volatility. Analysts note the insurance sector has significantly underperformed the broader market year-to-date, with short-term capital flow disruptions still ongoing and valuation recovery requiring time for position clearing to complete.
