Investment Daily Daily Focus Ping An (2318): Quarter Result slightly higher than expectation  (2318) 1Q21 attributable operating profit rose 8.9% Ping An Insurance (2318) Info yoy to Rmb39.1bn, while net profit rose 4.5% yoy to Rmb27.2bn. Closed price 86.2 Besides, Life & Health insurance new business value rose 15.4% yoy in 1Q21. Its overall result is slightly higher than expectation. Expected P/E (X) 8.4 Expected Dividend  Among business segment, Life & Health insurance operating profit rose 3.3 yield (%) steadily by 4.2% year on year to RMB25,580mn in 1Q21. Besides, 52 week high 103.6 thanks to combined ratio improved by 1.3 pps year on year to 95.2%, Ping 52 week low 74.6 An Property & Casualty insurance operating profit increased 15.2% to 14RSI 28 Rmb5.1bn in 1Q21. On the other hand, Ping An operating profit rose 18.5% yoy to Rmb10.1bn.  Ping An made a Rmb18.2bn provision related to China Fortune Land Development (CFLD) in 1Q21, which is around one third of Ping An total equity and debt exposure on this property company. It resulted in a Rmb10bn drag on Ping An Insurance net profit in 1Q21. Ping An will depend on future CFLD restructuring progress to adjust the provision.  Thanks to strong jumpstart sales, Ping An life business first year premium rose 23% yoy in 1Q21. However, new business margin fell 2 percentage due to higher mix of short term saving product, resulted in only 15.4% new business value growth. Looking ahead, Ping An iterated that its life and health business is still at reform stage, and maintained guidance for life new business value positive growth target unchanged.  Overall speaking, Ping An Insurance first quarter result is stable. Besides, we believe that the provision made for CFLD is adequate and will remove investors concern on this aspect. After recent share price downward adjustment, Ping An Insurance valuation is 8.4x prospective P/E, which seems not demanding. Suggest accumulate, target price is HK$100.

Investment Daily Great Wall Motor(2333)21Q1 Result Missed Expectation  Great Wall Motor(2333) announced that 21Q1 operating revenue was Great Wall Motor(2333) Info RMB31.12 billion which grew 1.5 times YoY. Net profit was RMB1.64 Closed price 21.35 billion, which dropped 40% QoQ. 20Q1 loss was RMB650 million. Overall profitability was below expectation. Expected P/E (X) 19 Expected Dividend  Indeed, Great Wall 21Q1 sales volume was strong, up 1.3 times YoY to 1.7 yield (%) 339,000. Among all brands, ORA volume growth was the fastest. Q1 52 week high 31.8 sales growth was over 10 times to 31,000 accounting for around 9% of 52 week low 4.7 total volume. Sales proportion increased 1.5 ppt QoQ. And core brand 14RSI 44 Haval sales volume grew more than 1 time to 223,000.  Even though 21Q1 sales volume grew 1.3 times, profit still missed expectation. It was mainly attributable to raw material cost hike. Secondly, sales contribution of NEV with low margin increased which was unfavorable to sales mix. And chip shortage resulted into lower capacity utilization. Gross profit margin dropped more 3 ppt QoQ. Management said that surge in raw material price resulted into RMB1000-2000 increase in cost per car. And it led to 1-2 ppt negative impact towards gross profit margin.  According to CPCA, ORA Black Cat, which was the best selling product line of Great Wall Motor, ranked the fourth in March NEV market. Sales volume reached 8,527. Market data showed that Black cat selling price ranges from RMB70,000-84,800, which was a low price model and well received by young car owners. But due to increase in sales of low price product, gross profit margin is under pressure. Management responded to low profitability of NEW by launching higher ASP product(RMB100,000-200,000) and high end product lines(RMB300,000+).  Forward looking, the company launched 8 new cars. Product pipelines is rich. We look forward to Tank SUV with high margin. Selling price ranges from RMB170,000-210,000. Order on hand exceeded 40,000. Management expects that when chip shortage relieves, monthly sales volume may reach 10,000.  In terms of valuation , FY21 forecast P/E is 19x which is higher than last three year average but similar with local brand peer (175). It is believed that Q2 automobile sector will still be constrained by chip supply and raw material cost hike. As a result, profit visibility declines in short term. Investors are suggested to wait till supply landscape turns visible. It is expected to see support at around HK$19.
