Ping An Insurance Does FY23 mark a ‘kitchen sink’?
■ FY23 weakness across multiple segments may lead some investors to see it as ‘kitchen-sinking’ in our view, with FY24F thus easier to record yoy growth. ■ Actuarial assumptions changes saw their FY23 risk discount rate (RDR) cut 1.5%-pts to 9.5%, and the investment return assumption cut 50bp to 4.5%. ■ As the RDR is analogous to a cost of equity, we think the large cut in RDR may continue reducing investors’ faith in the credibility of embedded value. ■ Reiterate Add rating, with a lower TP of HK$55 due to lower FY24-25F EPS.

RH Petrogas (RHP SP) An In-Line Outcome For Its Drilling Programme – More To Come In 2H24
Although RHP’s 2023/24 drilling programme yielded only one successful well out of four, this was in line with historical global exploration success rates. Excluding exploration write-offs, the company’s 2023 net profit would have beaten our forecast. RHP remains an exploration play with two wells targeting nearly 10mmboe of reserves to be drilled in 2H24. Maintain BUY. Target price: S$0.242.
