Prudential (2378 HK): 2024: Solid results; enhancing shareholder retur...

Prudential’s results were broadly within our expectations with NBP growing at 11% yoy. OPAT per share and DPS were ahead of consensus estimates. Management provided an upbeat 2025 guidance with double-digit growth in NBP, OPAT per share, gross OFSG and DPS. They will announce a new capital management plan during the 1H25 results. We expect a new round of buybacks which will elevate Prudential’s yield to high single digits in 2025. Maintain BUY. Target price: HK$123.00.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS Results AAC Technologies (2018 HK/BUY/HK$52.05/Target: HK$57.70) AAC’s 2H24’s earnings grew 114% yoy which exceeded expectations, thanks to a solid beat in the precision mechanics business, although this was partially offset by weaker margins from the optics and MEMs businesses. Nevertheless, we continue to expect solid revenue growth and margin expansion in 2025, driven by increasing exposure from the automotive acoustics business and edge AI-related components.

Prudential (2378 HK): Solid NBP growth on improved sales and margins a...

Prudential reported an 11% yoy growth in NBP, underpinned by an improved sales momentum across China, Hong Kong and Indonesia. NBP margin also edged up by 1.8ppt yoy, thanks to a favourable product mix and channel mix shift. Management also guided 9-13% NBP growth in 2024, implying a better growth outlook in 4Q24. We believe this strong set of results could help to restore market confidence in its growth momentum after a sluggish 1H24. Maintain BUY. Target price: HK$126.00.

Prudential delivered mixed 1H24 results. NBP was broadly in line with a 1% yoy growth on a CER basis but sales volume growth (+6% yoy) was behind market expectation. Management saw sales momentum picking up in June which has continued into 2H24. Prudential will convert into TEV reporting starting 1Q25 and we expect that market will welcome this move as it will enhance Prudential's comparability with its peers. Maintain BUY. Target price: HK$126.00.

Prudential (2378 HK): Reduced ownership interest in Malaysian business...

Prudential’s economic interest in PAMB, its life insurance business in Malaysia, has been reduced to 51% after the highest court ruled against its consolidation plan. As such, the insurer will reflect the 49% NCI in its upcoming 1H24 results, affecting >5% and >4% of shareholder equity and EEV respectively. Thus, we have revised our EEV estimates accordingly and cut our target price to HK$126.00. Maintain BUY. Management expects no impact on its Malaysia operations and existing shareholder retur...

KEY HIGHLIGHTS Economics PMI July manufacturing PMI fell for the third consecutive month to 49.4% (-0.1ppt mom), weighed by weak output and new orders. Non-manufacturing PMI fell to 50.2% (-0.3ppt mom), marking the weakest reading in the past eight months. This was mainly driven by a 1.1ppt decline in construction PMI. Overall, the report points to further slowing of economic activities, and the improved number of activities for large-sized enterprises has yet to trickle down to the mid- and...
