On September 7, PICC GROUP rose 3.36% at open, trading at HKD 6.46/share, with turnover of HKD 3.80 million.

On the news front, the company announced on September 6 that its board approved a plan to issue A-shares on a directed basis to the Ministry of Finance, raising up to RMB 15 billion (inclusive). Net proceeds will be used entirely to replenish the company's capital base. The board also appointed Yang Dongning as an executive director of the fifth board session. The proposed issuance received unanimous endorsement from independent directors and remains subject to shareholder approval, Shanghai Stock Exchange review, and CSRC registration.

The Ministry of Finance, as the controlling shareholder, directly subscribing to the placement is viewed as strengthening PICC GROUP's capital adequacy and solvency position. This follows a strong first-half performance in which the group reported attributable net profit of RMB 37.45 billion, up 38.5% year-on-year, driven primarily by a 62.7% surge in total investment income. The company also raised its interim dividend by 46.7% to RMB 0.11 per share.
