Ping An’s Tech Transformation

Chinese insurance titan Ping An to take on internet giants as it evolves into a tech powerhouse

What’s the story: Ping An Insurance (Group) is gearing up to take on mainland China’s internet giants, while pursuing international expansion, under its audacious plan to become a full-fledged technology company.

Why it matters: Ping An is China’s second-largest life insurer, with more policy holders than the population of Japan.

It’s also one of the industry’s most innovative, expanding both its size and its business scope in leaps and bounds since its establishment in 1988.

Its ambitions to now turn itself into a technology company, making use of its huge customer base, underscores the innovativeness of Chinese companies, with the huge population as their advantage.

PING AN(2318)
Analysis:


On Jan 15, Ping An announced the life premium income of RMB388.64bn. We are positive on the high growth of insurance industry in future.

Meanwhile, stringent regulation is expected to increase market share of leading companies which means that life insurance leaders will have good opportunities for development.

We expect that the quality of agent team will continue to improve and the proportion of long-term guaranteed products will further increase, which will continue to drive the steady growth of new business value.

We expect the reform of commercial auto insurance will benefit well-positioned market player. Considering Ping An Property & Casualty Insurance is the second largest insurance premium company in China, we expect the growth in the number insurance agents contributes to the increase of customer base.

At the same time , the booming automobile consumption facilitates the growth in auto insurance business. We see Ping An Bank, Ping An Trust, Ping An Securities and other traditional financial businesses have developed steadily in past few years.

Expect for maintaining the traditional business advantages, Ping An also promotes the strategy of "finance+technology" and focused on the financial and medical technologies based on Lujinsuo and Haoyisheng as plateforms.

Strategy:

Buy-in Price: $92.65, Target Price: $110.00, Cut Loss Price: $85.00

Remains optimistic on 2018 “protection” demand, despite hiccup from “Jump-start” sales

Lengthening asset duration by increasing bond investment to capture benefits from rising rate

Strong VNB outlook, ample residual margin and high ROEV to secure a higher dividend payout

Raise earnings by 2%/1% in FY18/19F, fine tune our VNB/EV assumption and raise TP to HK$115 as we roll over our valuation to FY19F.

Reiterate BUY

Valuation:
Our TP is based on SOP valuation, using 2.2x P/EV for Ping An Life, 1.0x P/BV for Ping An P&C, Ping An Bank and all other businesses, a total of HK$16.2/ share for Ping An’s fintech unit and a 15% conglomerate discount.

Key Risks to Our View:
Increasing market competition, reversal in interest rate upcycle, rising volatility in both China’s bond and equity markets, policy risks, and slower-than-expected China economy.
