Morgan Stanley released a research report estimating AIA (01299.HK) to report a 6.9% rise in VONB (at constant exchange rate (CER) basis) in 1Q25, mainly driven by a 7.3% increase in APE and flat gross profit at 54.2%.

The broker believed that the slowdown is temporary, and continued to predict VONB growth of 12% for both 1H25 and for the whole 2025. Morgan Stanley considered the Company attractively valued. Therefore, the broker rated the Company at Overweight, with a target price of $81.
