What Is Lufax Holding's Investment Narrative?

For anyone considering Lufax Holding, the big picture you need to buy into is a troubled consumer finance platform that still might have room to repair its business and balance sheet, while trading on very low sales multiples. The recent wave of board exits and the CFO’s resignation adds another layer of uncertainty on top of continuing losses and a history of weak returns, and it could blunt confidence in near term catalysts like any progress toward profitability or better credit performance. That said, the appointment of seasoned risk specialist Wai Kin Chim slightly offsets these concerns by strengthening board oversight at a time when governance and risk control are front and center. For now, the market’s muted reaction suggests investors are still weighing whether this reshuffle materially shifts the risk profile.

However, Lufax’s rapid leadership turnover is something investors should not ignore. In light of our recent valuation report, it seems possible that Lufax Holding is trading behind its estimated value.
