AIA (01299.HK)'s share price underperformed the market, with its valuation falling to below its historical average, JPMorgan published a research report saying.

The broker believed that the slowdown in 1Q26 new business value growth does not pose a significant risk to the Company's full-year forecasts, while the recent share price weakness presents an attractive buying opportunity for investors.

Therefore, JPMorgan kept rating/ target price at Overweight/ $112 for AIA. The broker forecasted FY2026-2028 new business value growth to be 13%/ 19%/ 17%, respectively.

Following the Company's announcement of a US$1.7 billion buyback budget for this year, JPMorgan anticipated AIA's total shareholder return over the next 12 months could reach approx. 4%.

TEN PAO GROUP (01979.HK) Chairman and CEO Hung Kwong Yee said that smaller industry players are finding it more difficult to survive amid macro instabilities, yet the company's current orders remain stable.

HKEX (00388.HK) issued new guidelines to strengthen corporate governance and transparency, requiring Hong Kong-listed companies to obtain shareholder approval for the appointment or removal of auditors.

Companies will also be required to disclose specific audit fees or scope to prevent fee disputes from being used as a pretext for dismissing auditors.

The above move effectively closes a loophole that allowed boards to pressure auditors to resign without timely shareholder oversight. Under the new guidelines, any action by a company that results in an auditor's resignation will be deemed an active removal and must be subject to a formal vote.
