AI Summary

6.0
Neutral

PUK is best viewed as a China-linked Asian growth and cash-conversion insurer, with durable free-surplus growth—not EPS—the key proof point; stay constructive only if Hong Kong sales and cash conversion remain strong, as China/Hong Kong policy disruption is the principal downside risk.
