CHINA LIFE (02628.HK) reported very strong new business value (NBV) growth of 26.3% YoY for 1Q24, beating Nomura's forecast of a 17% growth, mainly due to better-than-expected margin improvement, Nomura issued a research report saying.

However, its net profit under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) declined by 25% YoY to RMB20.6 billion, missing expectations.
