Ageas Worries on China continue to be exaggerated

The economic headwinds China has been facing post-covid, and the dim outlook in the near future; continue to create a negative sentiment around Ageas. Although some impact cannot be avoided, we believe the market continues to overestimate the risks and exaggerate the negative view.
We believe there still is a lot of value in the Asian business which is currently not reflected in the stock. We reiterate our Buy recommendation and the €50 TP.
