Sampo Group’s Sustainability Report for 2022 has been published

Sampo Group has published its Sustainability Report for 2022 on Sampo’s Annual Reporting site at . The report gives an overview of a wide array of topics regarding how Sampo Group ensures sustainable business operations, integrates sustainability into investment management and insurance operations, supports their employees, and engages in communities.

- I want to highlight the work that we have done in integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations further into insurance underwriting in 2022. Both If and Topdanmark expect their corporate clients to comply with the principles of the UN Global Compact, including commitments to fundamental human rights, labour rights, the environment, and anti-corruption. These principles have been integrated into relevant internal policies and processes, and corporate customers are screened and analysed against them, says Torbjörn Magnusson, Group CEO.

- We strengthened our focus also on climate and the environment. All the Group’s non-life insurers have now joined the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The commitment means mandatory science-based climate targets for our operations and investments. As a next step, we are aiming to finalise Group level involvement with the SBTi in 2023, Magnusson continues.

Sampo Group is committed to further strengthening its sustainability efforts in close cooperation with its stakeholders. Sampo works continuously on integrating sustainability principles, such as those of the UN Global Compact, into the Group’s policies and business practices and wants to encourage its investee companies and other business partners to do the same.

Sampo Oyj (Buy, TP: EUR10.20) - Strong underwriting momentum

Although Q1 PTP declined by 19% YOY to EUR377m, due to a lower investment result, Sampo continued to see strong underwriting momentum, with 9% YOY GWP growth (in local FX) and a 2.5%-points stronger underlying combined ratio YOY. Based on a better synergy outlook from the integration of Topdanmark, it increased its cost improvement guidance. We have raised our 2026–2027e EPS by ~1% on higher growth and ongoing underwriting improvements. We have raised our target price to EUR10.2 (9.8), and reite...

Solid growth momentum into 2025e

Helped by benign weather with few storms, we expect solid underwriting across the Nordic P&C sector for Q1, with underlying performance further supported by earned repricing momentum and abating claims inflation. The sector is trading at an attractive average 2026e P/E of c15.2x and we see solid capital distribution prospects. We reiterate our recommendations on all our covered sector names and highlight Tryg as our top pick.

Sampo Oyj (Buy, TP: EUR9.80) - Minor model adjustments

We have adjusted our estimates to reflect the now completed 4-to-1 share split announced by the board on 5 February. While we forecast unchanged earnings, we have revised our 2025–2027e EPS and DPS due to the increased share count. We do not consider these changes to be material, and we have not changed our BUY recommendation. We have adjusted our target price to EUR9.80 (49).

Sampo Oyj (Buy, TP: EUR49.00) - Strong underwriting momentum

Against a backdrop of soft financial markets and one-off integration costs, Sampo continues to deliver a solid underwriting performance, with the Q4 adjusted risk ratio improving by 0.3%-points YOY, helped by currency-adjusted GWP growth of 18% YOY. We believe the company’s efforts to mitigate claims inflation and increased frequencies should support growth and earnings, in line with the ambitions from the 2024 CMD, and have raised our 2025–2026e EPS by ~1%. We reiterate our BUY and have raised ...
