NCI (01336.HK) has issued a positive profit alert envisioning a 95-115% YoY surge in its net profit for 9M24, which is favorable for the industry's outlook, JPMorgan released a report saying. The broker has adjusted the TPs for Chinese insurers, the details of which are available in a separate table.

The broker predicted CHINA LIFE (02628.HK) to issue a positive profit alert soon given its low earnings base. There are three potential surprises in its 3Q results, namely upward revision in earnings, solvency capital, and dividend expectations. As a result, the broker lifted the TP forecast by 26% and the full-year earnings forecast by 7%.
