AIA (01299.HK)  +0.750 (+0.863%)    Short selling $656.57M; Ratio 27.826%   's 1Q26 new business value surprised the market with a 13% growth in 1Q26, Jefferies said in its research report. The group managed to deliver solid results while the market was generally concerned that a high base effect in the Thailand operations in 1Q25 would weigh on growth in 1Q26.

Excluding the Thailand operations, AIA's new business value growth would have reached 22% in 1Q26, with increases in its two largest markets, Mainland China and Hong Kong, both exceeding 20%.
