HSBC Research issued a report noting that CPIC (02601.HK) recorded a 9.6% YoY increase in value of new business in 1Q26, lagging behind China Ping Ans 21% growth, but reflecting the companys shift toward a value-driven growth strategy. First-year premiums declined 8.2%, with single-premium policies plunging 30%. During the period, net profit rose 4.3% YoY, while excluding one-off items it fell 1.1%. Group operating profit increased 3.6% YoY, demonstrating stronger earnings resilience than peers amid stock market volatility. HSBC Research holds a positive view on CPICs value-oriented strategy in agency and bancassurance channels. Although short-term growth in value of new business may trail peers, it should support more sustainable long-term growth. The broker raised its earnings forecast for CPIC this year by 30%. The TP for CPICs H shares was lifted from HKD43 to HKD44, while the TP for its A shares was lowered from RMB57 to RMB56. Buy ratings were maintained for both share classes.
