Greater China Alpha Picks: May Conviction Call

The HSI and MSCI China rose 7.4% and 6.4% mom respectively in April, lifted by news of a stock connect scheme expansion and further easing of restrictions on property purchases in China. With the July Politburo likely to see further supportive policy rollout, we are adding beneficiaries of improving domestic consumption − CR Beer, Crystal, Geely, Haier, Kuaishou, Ningbo Tuopu, Pinduoduo, Shenzhou and Tencent − to our BUY list, and closing out our SELL calls.

AIA Group (1299 HK): Strong VONB beat in 1Q24 with enhanced capital ma...

AIA’s 1Q24 VONB came in above our estimate with a 31% yoy growth, driven by a 26% growth in ANP and margin recovery in the Greater China business. AIA announced its enhanced capital management policy — adding US$2.0b to the existing share repurchase programme and bringing total shareholder return to 8.4%. Maintain BUY with a higher target price of HK$95.00. With upside surprise from 1Q24 VONB growth and shareholder returns, we expect valuation re-rating to persist in the near term.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS Results China Merchants Bank (3968 HK/BUY/HK$34.95/Target: HK$44.00) CMB’s 1Q24 earnings were slightly below our expectations due to disappointing fee income and higher cost ratio, partly offset by strong trading gains and lower credit impairment. 1Q24 NIM performance beat our expectation with a 2bp qoq decline and we expect it to hit its bottom by 2024 if there is another round of deposit rate cuts. Besides that, asset quality remains largely stable. Maintain BUY. Target price:...

Hong Kong Insurance: Value buy or value trap?

We believe the recent regulatory action has limited impact on AIA and Prudential due to the small quantum of new business contribution from the involved brokers. We continue to expect regional insurers to deliver at least 20% yoy new business growth in 1Q24. However, high interest rates and market uncertainty could continue to weigh on their valuations in the near term. Any upside surprise in 1Q24 new business or favourable updates in shareholder returns could turn sentiment around. Maintain MAR...

AIA Group (1299 HK): 2023: Delivering strong VONB growth.

AIA’s 2023 VONB came in above our estimates with 30%/33% yoy growth on an AER/CER basis, driven by the stronger-than-expected performance of MCV segments throughout the year and margin improvement in China during 2H23. We lift our 2024-25 VONB forecasts in the light of continued strong business momentum in Hong Kong and Thailand as well as a better margin outlook in China. Maintain BUY with a higher target price of HK$101.00.

Greater China Insurance: New norm for domestic insurers.

Weak December premium data suggests that insurers kick off “jumpstart sales” without much fanfare under the new regulations. We believe that life insurers will focus more on quality growth over top-line premium growth in order to manage spread risks effectively amid the low interest rate environment. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT on the insurance sector. We prefer regional life insurers over domestic insurers due to the former’s diversified exposures at this juncture. AIA remains our top pick.

The Chinese economy will see a gradual climb higher in 2024, hitting 4% yoy growth, with private consumption providing much of the heavy lifting. Policy easing will be incremental, focusing on the real estate sector and local government financing. Until these issues are resolved, PE expansion will be limited. Thus, EPS growth will be the key driver, with an index target of 67.3pt. Our focus is on smart consumption, premiumisation and turnaround stocks, staying negative on the auto sector.

AIA’s 3Q23 VONB came in above our estimates with 34.1% yoy growth, driven by the encouraging sales to MCV in Hong Kong and reaccelerated VONB growth in China. The ASEAN and India markets also delivered strong double-digit VONB growth. Margins improved for the first time since 4Q22 by 1.8ppt qoq to 51.3% due to a favourable shift in product mix and improved margins of the bancassurance channel in China. Maintain BUY with an unchanged target price of HK$95.00.

Both domestic and regional life insurers delivered strong NBV growth in 1H23 after China's reopening. P&C insurers continued their sustained premium growth with a slight increase in CoR. We expect domestic and regional life insurers’ NBV growth to diverge in 2H23 due to the suspension of higher-rate products in China and the attractive yield in Hong Kong, which is leading to higher growth in the MCV segment.

AIA Group (1299 HK): 1H23: VONB in line; margin slumps a concern.

AIA’s 1H23 VONB came in largely within our estimates, driven by the return of MCV in Hong Kong. The huge margin compression in 1H23 was due to the hot sale of lowmargin participating products. AIA continues to gain growth momentum in ASEAN but the company faces slower growth in China. We trim our 2023/24 EV per share forecast by 5% after revising our long-term VONB margin and VONB growth assumptions. Maintain BUY with a lower target price of HK$95.00.
