JPMorgan Maintains Overweight on PING AN as Strong Q1 Core Earnings Alleviate Market Concerns

Stock News04-29 14:36

JPMorgan issued a research report maintaining an "Overweight" rating on PING AN with a target price of HK$90. The bank considers the valuation reasonable based on a projected 2027 fiscal year price-to-earnings ratio of 7 times and a dividend yield of 6%. The bank stated that the group's first-quarter results this year have largely eased related market concerns. During the period, new business value reached RMB 15.6 billion, a 21% year-on-year increase, while core earnings (operating profit after tax) amounted to RMB 40.8 billion, up 7.6% year-on-year, both meeting or exceeding the bank's expectations. The bank expressed surprise at the robust growth in life insurance sales volume and the resilience of product profit margins.
