Since the beginning of this year, the capital market’s attention to Ping An Insurance has continued to rise. Latest institutional ratings show that from January 1 to March 20, 2026, a total of 8 well-known brokerages released 11 research reports on Ping An, all giving positive ratings.

Among the participating institutions are major domestic research firms including Guoxin Securities, Huatai Securities, Guojin Securities, Huachuang Securities, Western Securities, GF Securities, Guotai Haitong Securities, and Dongwu Securities. Guoxin Securities and Huatai Securities each published 3 and 2 reports, respectively, showing the highest interest in Ping An. In terms of timing, 4 reports were released in January, 2 in February, and 5 in March, showing a month-by-month increase, indicating growing market attention.

Of the 11 reports, the ratings show a clear positive trend. Specifically, “Buy” ratings account for the highest proportion, with 6 reports or 54.5%; “Outperform the Market” ratings are 3 reports or 27.3%; and “Strong Buy” and “Increase Holdings” each account for 1 report.

Notably, all rating adjustments in these reports are to “Maintain,” with no downgrades. This indicates a high consensus and stability in institutional views on Ping An’s investment value, providing clear signals for investors.

Among the 5 reports with explicit target prices, Ping An’s target price ranges from 76 yuan to 92.68 yuan, reflecting rational valuation differences among institutions. Guojin Securities has the highest target at 92.68 yuan; Huatai Securities sets a target of 76 yuan; Western Securities, Guotai Haitong Securities, and others have targets between these levels.

The average target price across these 5 reports is 83.73 yuan, with a median of 85.46 yuan, indicating high consensus on Ping An’s valuation. As of March 20, Ping An’s A-shares closed at 59.74 yuan, suggesting significant upside potential relative to these target prices, offering good long-term investment prospects.

From the content of the reports, institutions generally remain optimistic about Ping An’s multi-dimensional business layout, with core growth highlights receiving industry-wide recognition.

Western Securities, in its initial coverage report, pointed out that Ping An is actively integrating AI technology with comprehensive finance, which is expected to open a new growth cycle.

With the release of the “14th Five-Year Plan,” Huachuang Securities Research Institute recently published an in-depth research report titled “Insurance Industry Weekly: ‘14th Five-Year Plan’ Released, Focus on ‘Elderly Care,’ ‘Medical Insurance’ and Other Keywords,” providing a professional industry perspective. The report deeply interprets new opportunities for the insurance industry under the plan, with a focus on Ping An.

Dongwu Securities is optimistic about the rapid growth of Ping An’s bancassurance business driving overall performance upward, while its high weighting and low holding characteristics may further catalyze valuation recovery.

Guoxin Securities views Ping An positively from three aspects: First, externally, the appreciation of the RMB has attracted foreign capital to reallocate into core Chinese assets, with Ping An as a liquidity-rich, undervalued financial leader being a key choice; second, domestically, under the high-quality development of public funds, a shift from growth to value style is expected by 2026, and Ping An’s low valuation and high dividend attributes provide clear defensive and counterattack value; third, the company’s strategic layout of “Comprehensive Finance + Ecosystem” aligns with the aging population and domestic demand themes—its health and elderly care investments are deep, with AI and frontier technology investments continuously optimizing service experience, improving efficiency, and strengthening its “moat.”
