Bank of America: Reaffirms AIA's "Buy" rating and raises this year's profit forecast.

Breakings ·  Mar 17 04:48

Bank of America Securities published a research report indicating that AIA's performance last year met expectations. AIA's new round of buybacks this year amounts to 1.6 billion USD, of which 0.6 billion USD has been spent on buybacks in the first two months, with a total buyback scale of 2.2 billion USD. The bank views the annual buyback of approximately 2 billion USD as the "new normal." As the base effect nearly completely fades, the bank expects the group's new business value to increase by 14% year-on-year this year, mainly benefiting from business in the inbound mainland travelers sector (MCV) and ASEAN markets. As the high interest environment may continue, sales growth of savings products is expected to be the main driver of this year's new business value, while the recovery momentum in new business value profit margins in the region may slow down. The bank also mentioned that it expects AIA's new business value in the Hong Kong market to increase by 12% year-on-year this year, with MCB and local customer business growth maintained in the range of 10% to 20%. The bank raised its profit forecast for AIA this year by 11% and reduced next year's profit forecast by 4%, mainly due to changes in investment return forecasts. The bank maintains AIA's target price at HKD 92.2 and reaffirms the "Buy" rating.
