Simon:下只個股我們看看中芯國際(00981)，股價挨近保力加通道的中線，有些投資者認為可以搏反 彈。我們看看窩輪市場，選擇價外產品，或貼價的價外產品選擇不多，比如行使價在83元的產品不多， 行使價88元的產品只有2只。而行使價88.88元-89元以上的產品選擇多，產品價外幅度有10%以上，綜合 看，當前阻力位88.4元，選擇88.88元的產品是合適的。目前有6只可以選擇，槓桿4倍左右，而溢價看， 有些產品的溢價21.43%，而有的溢價高，處於24.43%，溢價差異比較大。在引伸波幅方面，有些產品 的引伸波幅65%，有些引伸波幅水平67-68%。從產品對比看，有些產品的引伸波幅低，比如引伸波幅 65%水平的產品,而溢價高一些，大概有24%以上。有些溢價低的21%，引伸波幅水平偏高。所以大家需 要做個平衡。沒有一個很完美的產品。我們通常會選擇低溢價、低引伸波幅和槓桿高的產品，但目前出 現這三個條件的產品是沒有的。在這種情況下，我們就會選擇有2個條件比較好的產品，比如槓桿高， 溢價低，而引伸波幅出於中等水平。目前981的價內產品也有一些選擇，槓桿在3-3.3倍。沒有價外的風 險，並且引伸波幅低一些，溢價也低一 ...

Investment Rating - The report maintains an "Overweight" rating for the insurance sector [2] Core Insights - The insurance sector has seen improvements on both asset and liability sides, with valuations and public fund holdings still at low levels. The asset side has been the main driver of the sector's performance in 2024, significantly influenced by the stock market. The fundamentals of the sector are improving, with expectations for steady profit growth in Q3 due to a strong stock market and stable long-term interest rates. The sector's valuation remains attractive compared to historical levels, and the overall new business value (NBV) is expected to maintain a rapid growth rate [2][5][11]. Summary by Sections Historical Performance - Since the listing of insurance stocks in 2007, the insurance index has increased by 165%, outperforming the market by 55%. Notably, in years like 2014, 2017, 2022, and 2024, the sector achieved over 20% excess returns [5][11][12]. Catalysts for Insurance Stock Performance - The three main factors influencing insurance stock performance are stock market trends, long-term interest rates, and liability performance. The correlation between the insurance index and the stock market is strong, with bull markets acting as key catalysts for insurance stock performance. Long-term interest rates significantly impact the insurance companies' profit margins and product sales, while liability performance is assessed through new business premiums and NBV [5][16][19]. Historical Market Trends - The report identifies five significant market trends for the insurance sector since 2014, highlighting the importance of stock market performance, interest rate movements, and liability improvements in driving excess returns. For instance, the 2014-2015 period was characterized by a bull market and high growth in the liability side, while the 2017 period saw a combination of rising interest rates and value transformation leading to significant excess returns [5][42][45]. Current Investment Value - The report indicates that insurance stocks have shown significant excess returns since 2024, with a notable narrowing of the A-H share price gap. Future catalysts for upward price movement in the insurance sector are anticipated [5][11].
