Several Chinese insurers have announced their 1H25 results, conveying positive messages such as early shifts in reserve liabilities, enhanced balance sheet control, increased interim dividends, improved solvency capital, and strong performance in both life and non-life insurance operations, Morgan Stanley wrote in its research report.

With the price levels of Chinese insurers corresponding to a forecasted P/E ratio of about 7 times for 2026 after a rebound this year, Morgan Stanley estimated around a 4% dividend yield. It also forecasted the market to lift its earnings and dividend expectations for Chinese insurers amid a better risk-reward situation.
