On June 26, New China Life Insurance (01336.HK) fell 3.1% in regular trading, trading at HKD 48.06/share, with turnover of HKD 94.22 million. The insurance sector remained broadly under pressure, with peers China Taiping down 3.18%, AIA down 2.22%, China Life down 2.18%, and Ping An down 1.73%.

On the news front, the market continues to worry about insurers' investment return outlook. New China Life's Q1 total investment income plunged 57% year-over-year, with profit growth primarily driven by expense reductions rather than improvement on the investment side. The sector briefly rebounded after the Dragon Boat Festival holiday but quickly resumed its downtrend. Institutions noted that insurance stocks have significantly underperformed the broader market year-to-date, with short-term capital flow disruptions persisting and valuation recovery requiring further time for position clearing to complete.
