What Is Lufax Holding's Investment Narrative?

For anyone still interested in Lufax, the big picture you need to believe in is a turnaround story: an unprofitable consumer finance platform, trading at a low sales multiple, eventually fixing its operations, restoring consistent profitability and making better use of its balance sheet. Before the Rosen class action, the main near term catalysts were management’s reshaping of the business, the new CEO transition and any signs that losses were narrowing after 2024’s sizeable net loss of CN¥3,870.62. The lawsuit now cuts straight into the heart of that thesis, because it questions the reliability of past financials and the adequacy of internal controls at a time when both the board and management team are already very new and relatively untested. Given the sharp recent share price declines, this looks like a material shift in the risk profile rather than just background noise.

But there is one governance risk here that investors really should not ignore. Insights from our recent valuation report point to the potential undervaluation of Lufax Holding shares in the market.
