China Life forecasts significant profit growth in Q3 2025

China Life Insurance Company anticipates its net profit attributable to shareholders for the first three quarters of 2025 to range between 1,567.85 bn yuan and 1,776.89 bn yuan. This projection represents a year-on-year increase of approximately 522.62 bn yuan to 731.66 bn yuan, or a growth of 50% to 70% compared to the same period in 2024. Similarly, net profit attributable to shareholders after deducting non-recurring gains and losses is expected to rise by 50% to 70%, reaching 1,570.11 bn yuan to 1,779.46 bn yuan.

The company attributes this strong performance to its active role as an "economic shock absorber" and "social stabilizer," coupled with a focus on value creation and efficiency. Strategic investments in the real economy, a commitment to long-term and value investing principles, and a robust cross-cycle investment strategy have bolstered its investment professional capabilities and portfolio stability.

A rebound in the stock market and increased equity investments, leveraging mid-to-long-term capital, have significantly improved investment income. The company emphasizes that these preliminary figures are unaudited and subject to further verification. Investors are advised to exercise caution when trading the company's shares.
