Great update. I think this is a superb share. Huge growth potential, great brand and as a strategic partner of Coca Cola, it's very secure.
I would like to see an interim.divi introduced at some point in the future to supplement the main divi.
I'm expecting plenty of M&A activity in the general insurance market over the next year or so. It sounds as though the likes of Allianz, AXA, Intact (who own RSA) and Danish Insurer Tryg have money to spend.
I just can't see one of those buying the whole of Aviva when Aviva is more weighted towards life insurance and wealth which they don't have much / any experience in.
IMO this is undervalued regardless of takeover speculation. Happy to hold, take the divi and see what happens. A fall in inflation next year and potentially interest rates should increase sentiment.
Excellent set of results and nice to see the share price rising accordingly.
The business is putting everything in place to become a global leader in this space. Very happy to be invested here, I won't be selling anytime soon.
I'm surprised they didn't snap up NIG from Direct Line instead of it going to RSA. As far as acquisitions go, it would have been fairly easy to integrate given the geographical and product overlap with Aviva's existing commercial brokered general insurance book.
Not sure about the sale of NIG to RSA. Yes it plugs a gap short term and raises capital but it could have been a big growth area with some work and it provided some diversification from basic personal lines household and private car policies.
Great set of results. Bit baffled by the reduction in the share price this morning.
I deal with Hiscox on a daily basis through my job and after 3 pretty shambolic years, it looks and feels like they have turned a corner.
This and Beazley are massively under valued in my opinion.
Last year's HY update was on 25 July so there should be a RNS later this week or early next week.
I'm fully expecting good news across the board which will hopefully get us out of this recent share price weakness.
