Ping An Insurance Earnings: Life OPAT Disappoints Investors Due to Unfavorable Assumption Change
We retain our fair value estimate for Ping An Insurance at CNY 58 per A share and HKD 63 per H share after the insurer reported in-line 2024 net profit growth of 48%. Group operating profit after tax, or OPAT, rose 9%, surpassing our 5% forecast. However, life insurance OPAT declined by 2% due to unfavorable assumption changes to reflect falling interest rates.
