On July 6, New China Life Insurance rose 3.1% in regular trading, trading at HK$49.22/share, with turnover of HK$379 million.

On the news front, Citigroup published a research report stating that given the notable year-over-year improvement in mainland equity markets during Q2, life insurance-focused companies are expected to issue positive profit alerts driven by substantially increased investment returns. Citigroup added New China Life Insurance to its 30-day positive catalyst watch list, with a target price of HK$50.2. The bank expects strong first-half results for life insurers, supported by robust bancassurance momentum, with first-year premiums and new business value both achieving double-digit growth.

Additionally, multiple institutions noted that the insurance sector is poised for high earnings growth in Q2 while current valuations still have room for recovery. Public fund allocation to insurance stocks stood at only 1.05% as of Q1-end, remaining significantly underweight relative to market capitalization.
