One-glance verdict

Valued differently

We value banks a different way

We don't put a cash-flow fair value on banks and insurers. For these companies the reported 'cash flow' is really just money moving between loans, deposits and trades — not the leftover profit the owners could actually pocket — so the usual method would print a misleading number.

What this company does

AIFU Inc.

AIFU Inc. sells a wide range of insurance products in China, from life and health to property and accident insurance, and also offers related services like elderly care and family governance. The company makes money primarily by selling these insurance policies through various platforms and agents. Understanding how well they sell these policies is important because it shows how much of each sales dollar they can keep after paying their costs, a measure known as operating margins (the percent of each sales dollar left after day-to-day business costs).

Is it cheap or expensive?

We value banks and insurers a different way

For a bank or insurer, the "free cash flow" shown on its statements is mostly money flowing through loans, deposits and trades — not the leftover profit the owners could actually keep, which is what this kind of valuation needs. Running that through the usual method would spit out a meaningless number, so we leave the cash-flow fair value out here rather than show you something misleading.

Valued differently

We estimate the cash this business should generate over the next 10 years and beyond, then convert it to today's money for a fair value per share, in its trading currency. Cautious, middle and optimistic growth cases give a range. Not for banks/insurers.

Is it drowning in debt?
