Big Bank Ratings丨Jefferies: Predicting mixed results for China's life insurance stocks in the next quarter, favoring Ping An of China
Jefferies released a report saying that China's life insurance stocks have risen 20% to 40% since this year, benefiting from stabilizing interest rates and improving market sentiment.

The bank favors Ping An of China, which is based on lower valuations, stronger underwriting profitability and investment
