On Smartkarma, an independent investment research network, top independent analysts such as David Blennerhassett have been publishing research on companies like People’s Insurance (PICC). In his recent report titled “PICC’s (1339 HK)’s Implied Stub Plumbs New Lows As Interest Rate Cuts Bite,” Blennerhassett suggests going long on PICC and short on PICC Property & Casualty (2328 HK) as the NAV discount and implied stub momentum starts to reverse. He points out that PICC’s steady and profitable life/health insurance stub operations have been undervalued, possibly due to falling interest rates and the emergence of EV insurance. This has resulted in a wider discount and a lower implied stub for PICC.
