NCI's stock surged 5.10% during intraday trading, marking a significant recovery for the insurance company.

The stock's rise comes as the insurance sector stages a broad-based rebound after being under pressure in the previous session. The sector recovery is being led by peers including Ping An, China Taiping, and China Life, which are all showing strong gains.

NCI had fallen in the prior session amid concerns over its dividend payout ratio, despite reporting strong annual results including a 38.3% year-on-year increase in net profit and 14.9% growth in gross written premiums. The stock is now tracking the broader sector recovery as investor sentiment improves toward insurance stocks.
