On October 2, CHINA LIFE fell 3.41% in regular trading, trading at 27.22 HKD/share, with turnover of 1.55 billion HKD.
The decline came amid broad-based selling across the Life and Health Insurance sector. Among peers, AIA fell 5.23%, China Taiping fell 5.22%, NCI dropped 3.15%, and Ping An slid 1.99%, while FWD Group bucked the trend with a modest 0.41% gain. The sector-wide downturn follows a period of intermittent weakness in insurance stocks, which had already shown pressure in late September.
On the fundamental side, CHINA LIFE reported strong first-half results, with revenue of 434.3 billion yuan, up 81.54% year-over-year, and attributable net profit of 134.5 billion yuan, surging 228.57%. The company recently announced participation in large-scale equity investment partnerships totaling up to 80 billion yuan, appointed its first-ever Chief Marketing Officer, and confirmed a mid-term dividend of 0.358 yuan per share. BlackRock raised its long position to 6.05% as of late September. Broker consensus remains constructive, with 19 institutions issuing ratings over the past 90 days, including 18 buy recommendations.
