Valuing China Life Insurance Company stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of China Life Insurance Company's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
China Life Insurance Company's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 8x. In other words, China Life Insurance Company shares trade at around 8x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
China Life Insurance Company's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.1667. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into China Life Insurance Company's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
China Life Insurance Company's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $50.9 billion.

Dividend payout ratio: 99.08% of net profits
Recently China Life Insurance Company has paid out, on average, around 100% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), China Life Insurance Company shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In China Life Insurance Company's case, that would currently equate to about $0.65 per share.
China Life Insurance Company's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
China Life Insurance Company's most recent dividend payout was on 31 August 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 5 July 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
China Life Insurance Company's shares were split on a 3:1 basis on 26 May 2015 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your China Life Insurance Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 66.7% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for China Life Insurance Company shares which in turn could have impacted China Life Insurance Company's share price.
