China Life Insurance (CNE1000002L3) was trading at EUR 2.76 at Lang & Schwarz on October 15, 2026, at 11:14 a.m. CEST. Simply Wall St updated its China Life fair value to HKD 36.49 on October 8, 2026, keeping valuation at the center of the stock story.

Three valuation milestones

On September 16, 2026, Futunn reported that China Life's first-half net profit attributable to shareholders rose 228.60 percent year over year to RMB 134.489 billion. On September 24, 2026, China Life approved an interim dividend of RMB 0.358 per share, payable on November 18, 2026, according to Simply Wall St. On October 8, 2026, the same source updated its fair value to HKD 36.49.

What drives the valuation?

The interim figures show why earnings quality matters alongside the headline profit increase. For the first half of 2026, New Business Value reached RMB 38.167 billion, a 33.70 percent year-over-year increase, while total investment yield rose to 5.58 percent from 3.29 percent in the same period of 2025, according to Futunn. The report also said that investment income reached RMB 314.504 billion in the first half of 2026, an increase of RMB 186.998 billion from the same period of 2025.

That mix creates a clear counterweight to the profit headline. Investment returns contributed materially to earnings, while the 33.70 percent increase in New Business Value points to operating progress in the insurance franchise. The two measures describe different engines of performance and should be read together.

Next reporting date

China Life's next reporting date is October 29, 2026, according to Simply Wall St. The November 18, 2026 interim dividend payment is the next dated shareholder event.

Euro quote and investor context

China Life's valuation discussion now combines a HKD 36.49 fair value with first-half net profit of RMB 134.489 billion and New Business Value of RMB 38.167 billion. The next earnings date gives investors a defined checkpoint for testing whether that growth profile is continuing.
