Movement Alert|CHINA LIFE Falls 3.42% in Regular Trading, GigaDevice Divestment Controversy Continues Amid Insurance Sector Weakness

Market Focus07-28

On July 28, CHINA LIFE fell 3.42% in regular trading, trading at HKD 27.68/share, with turnover of HKD 392 million.

On the news front, the controversy surrounding CHINA LIFE's asset management plans collectively selling approximately 1.1 million shares of GigaDevice on July 8 — cashing out roughly RMB 6.82 billion — continues to ferment in the market. The debate centers on whether the disposal represents routine portfolio rebalancing or signals a warning on stretched valuations in the storage chip sector. The company previously responded that such secondary market transactions constitute normalized investment behavior based on allocation needs.

Meanwhile, the insurance sector is broadly under pressure. Peer New China Life Insurance fell 1.95%, China Taiping declined 1.35%, and AIA slipped 0.38%, reflecting subdued sector sentiment. The company's previously disclosed H1 profit forecast of 215%-235% year-on-year growth has been largely priced in by the market.
