PING AN (02318.HK) reported 1Q26 new business value rising 21% YoY, benefiting from a 46% YoY increase in first-year premiums, which partly offset the impact of a 4.8 ppts decline in new business value margin, according to a report from HSBC Global Research.

Supported by life and health insurance, banking, and asset management businesses, PING AN's post-tax operating profit increased by 8% YoY, 3% above market expectations. Shareholders equity also rose by 2% compared with the end of last year.
