The bank stated that the overall COR for the first three quarters of 2024 was 98.2%, a year-on-year increase of 0.3 percentage points. Among them, the COR for motor insurance and non-motor insurance were 96.8%/100.5% respectively, with year-on-year changes of -0.6%/+1.9% respectively. The motor insurance COR continued to improve, expected mainly due to the motor insurance implementing the 'reporting and accounting integration' to drive the expense ratio improvement year-on-year; the non-motor insurance COR increased year-on-year, expected mainly due to an increase in major catastrophe losses year-on-year. Looking ahead, with the improvement in the expense ratio driven by the motor insurance 'reporting and accounting integration' and the company's strengthened risk control maintaining a stable claims ratio, the company is expected to achieve the annual target set at the beginning of the year of 'motor insurance COR around 97%, non-motor insurance COR <100%.'
The bank further mentioned that considering the improvement of COR year-on-year expected from the motor insurance implementing 'reporting and accounting integration' and the company's strengthened risk control, as well as the expected increase in investment income year-on-year driven by the recovery of the equity market, the bank expects the company's net income attributable to the parent from 2024 to 2026 to be 33.9/35.7/39.8 billion respectively, with corresponding growth rates of 38%/6%/11%. Due to the company's unique business model and high ROE, the bank maintains a 'buy' rating.
