PICC P&C Earnings: Nonauto Combined Ratio Worsens on Natural Cat Losses; Auto Combined Ratio in Line
We maintain our HKD 12 fair value estimate for PICC Property and Casualty following the company's in-line third-quarter results, which showed accelerated growth in year-to-date insurance revenue and net profit, rising 5.3% and 38% year on year, respectively. The stock appears fairly valued, trading at 1.0 times 2024 book value and offering a dividend yield of 4.5%, compared with peers trading at 0.6-0.9 times book value. We believe this valuation premium is justified by PICC P&C’s consistent margins through the business cycle and effective management execution.
