On July 21, China Taiping rose 5.51% in regular trading, trading at 21.48 HKD/share, with turnover of HK$10.05 million.

On the news front, the company previously issued a positive profit alert, forecasting H1 attributable profit growth of approximately 85% to 95% year-over-year, implying interim profit of HK$12.51 billion to HK$13.29 billion based on the prior-year figure of HK$6.76 billion. The surge is primarily driven by improved insurance service results and enhanced investment returns.

Multiple brokerages have maintained positive ratings. Huachuang Securities reiterated its Recommend rating with a target price of HK$30.3 and adjusted EPS forecast to HK$5.63, citing dual asset-liability drivers. Guangfa Securities maintained its Buy rating, noting that the A-share market rally in H1 boosted investment income, while the low base effect from last year amplified growth.
