Investment view: the overall performance is in line with expectations. After March, the base pressure will be reduced, and the decline of NBV is expected to narrow marginally, but it is expected to still lag behind the listed peers. It is expected that NBV in the whole year will be – 30% year-on-year. The transformation direction of long-term corporate life insurance is very clear. First, the construction of excellent team and excellent culture, and second, the construction of differentiated services such as health care have achieved preliminary results. We estimate that the net profit attributable to the parent company in 20222024 will be 21.24 billion, 24.42 billion and 30.15 billion respectively, and yoy will be – 20.8%, 14.9% and 23.5% respectively (the previous estimate of net profit attributable to the parent company in 20222024 will be 27.09 billion, 33.22 billion and 41.91 billion respectively). The reduction of profit forecast is mainly due to the intensification of stock market turmoil this year and the reduction of investment return expectation. At present, the company’s 2022pev is only 0.37 (a) / 0.26 (H) times, which is at a historical low valuation.

Risk tip: the rapid decline of interest rate exceeded expectations, the decline of agent scale exceeded expectations, the sales of guaranteed products were less than expected, and the epidemic situation was repeated.
