On June 26, PICC Group (01339.HK) fell 3.07% in regular trading, trading at HK$4.69/share, with turnover of approximately HK$65.99 million.
On the news front, the company has posted two consecutive quarters of profit deceleration. In Q4 of last year, PICC reported a rare single-quarter net loss of RMB 180 million attributable to parent shareholders, while Q1 net profit declined 31.4% year-over-year to RMB 8.814 billion, primarily dragged by capital market volatility eroding investment-side returns. Total revenue for Q1 fell 5.1% to RMB 148.536 billion.
Additionally, Morgan Stanley and Citi both recently cut their H-share target prices for PICC, with both citing life insurance business performance falling short of expectations as the core reason. The company's H-share has accumulated a decline of approximately 23.6% year-to-date, with selling pressure from the A-share insurance sector continuing to spill over into Hong Kong trading.
