Question: China Ping An valuation analysis

Answer: Regarding China Ping An’s valuation performance in 2026, based on facts from its financial reports and the market’s trading picture, the core conclusion is: there is a significant divergence between the company’s double-digit growth in performance and the valuation at its historical lows, providing an extremely high margin of investment safety. The key supporting facts are as follows:

Multiples are at the late-2010s bottom: Based on China Ping An’s P/E and P/B as of March 2026, its current trailing P/E is only around 7x, and its P/B is about 1x. Compared with its historical highs in 2017—P/E of 20x and P/B breaking above 3x—today’s valuation multiples have already formed a deep base.
Core earnings build a repair foundation: In 2025, the company’s operating profit attributable to owners reached RMB 134.415 billion (up 10.3% year over year), and its net profit from non-recurring items reached RMB 143.773 billion (up 22.5% year over year). New business value from its life insurance and health insurance segments reached RMB 36.897 billion, up 29.3% year over year. Ongoing high growth in profitability provides a solid earnings foundation for subsequent market upadjustments to China Ping An’s institutional ratings and target prices.
High dividends and heavy fund positions help support the market: In 2025, the company’s total cash dividends amounted to RMB 48.891 billion, continuing to rise for 14 consecutive years, and the expected A-share dividend yield is 4.7%. At the same time, two “National Team” funds remain among the top ten shareholders (holding 2.24% and 2.17%, respectively) and have not sold a single share; 83,024 core talents spent RMB 3.875 billion to purchase H shares. The steadfast bullish stance of large domestic and overseas capital further reinforces its long-term investment logic.
