保险股价值重估 资产负债两端持续优化

Core Viewpoint - The insurance sector is experiencing a valuation recovery, driven by policy support and increasing consumer demand for health and wealth protection, with major companies like China Pacific Insurance, New China Life, and China Life seeing significant stock price increases, and China Ping An reaching a four-year high [1][2]. Policy Support - The strong rebound in the insurance sector is initiated by policy support, specifically the recent adjustment of risk factors for insurance companies' investment in stocks, which reduces capital occupation and enhances solvency ratios [2]. - The policy encourages insurance funds to invest in a stable and long-term manner, with a focus on holding positions for over three years, which is seen as a timely boost for the market [2]. - If insurance capital reallocates to equity assets, it could potentially unlock 550 billion to 600 billion yuan in long-term funds by 2026 [2]. Consumer Demand Shift - A report by Accenture indicates a structural shift in consumer focus towards health and wealth, with health concern rising from 78% in 2021 to 87% in 2025, and wealth concern increasing from 47% to 61% [4]. - This shift translates into a rigid demand for insurance products, with a notable preference for protection-oriented products such as dividend insurance, health insurance, and million medical insurance [4]. - Companies like China Ping An and China Pacific Insurance are adapting to these changes, with significant growth in their health insurance segments and overall profitability [4][5]. Valuation Recovery Logic - The insurance sector is expected to enter a golden development period, with investment logic shifting from "valuation repair of existing business" to "growth capability valuation premium," highlighting the advantages of leading companies [7]. - By 2026, the total assets of the insurance industry are projected to exceed 45 trillion yuan, with equity investment scale reaching 6 trillion yuan, making it a significant source of long-term capital in the A-share market [7]. - China Ping An is anticipated to lead the market due to its comprehensive industry chain layout, product innovation, and technological empowerment, with target prices being raised by multiple institutions [7].
