On November 3, PICC P&C recorded an Intraday Rise of 3.09% in Regular Trading, with the stock trading at HK$17.05 and turnover reaching HK$1.112 billion.
A clear news catalyst emerged from a broker update issued on the same day, which said the company faced pressure from investments but delivered underwriting profit better than expected, while setting a target price of HK$17.2.
This followed the company’s third-quarter results released on October 30, showing first-nine-month net profit of RMB25.954 billion, down 35.5% year on year, while original insurance premium income rose 1.7% to RMB450.501 billion and insurance service income increased 2.4% to RMB395.049 billion. Another broker note published on November 2 said third-quarter results were broadly in line with expectations and underwriting profitability remained solid, reinforcing the view that operating fundamentals were steadier than headline profit pressure implied.
