AIA Group Limited (ISIN HK0000069689) faces a softer third-quarter comparison after Jefferies projected a 3.00 percent decline in value of new business for the period. According to Insurance Asia on October 13, 2026, Jefferies kept its full-year 2026 basic earnings per share estimate at USD 0.79. At Lang & Schwarz, the stock was trading at EUR 8.15 on October 22, 2026 at 5:01 p.m. CEST; on the HKEX, it closed at HKD 71.15, down 1.32 percent from HKD 72.10.

What could change by October 30?

AIA's next scheduled report is the third-quarter 2026 update on October 30, 2026. Simply Wall St identifies the release for 6:00 a.m. China Standard Time. That date will put the third-quarter new business estimate against the company's first-half performance.

First-half figures set the comparison

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, AIA reported USD 3.21 billion of value of new business, an increase of 10.00 percent at constant exchange rates. GMT Eight also reported USD 4.16 billion of after-tax operating profit, up 13.00 percent per share, and a 17.50 percent annualized operating return on shareholder equity. Jefferies' third-quarter view therefore sets a lower near-term growth marker against a strong first-half base.
