BEIJING/SHANGHAI, Feb 3 (Reuters) - Ping An Insurance Group Co of China Ltd , China’s largest insurer by market value, reported a 4.2% drop in annual net profit on Wednesday but beat analysts’ forecasts.
Profit of 143.1 billion yuan ($22.16 billion) for the year ended December 31 was down from 149.4 billion, a statement filed to the Hong Kong stock exchange showed.
That topped the 133.5 billion average estimate by 24 analysts polled by Refinitiv.
