Gjensidige Forsikring (Hold, TP: NOK155.00) - Effects of repricing for profitability
Overall the Q1 report met market expectations, with EPS 5% above consensus, boosted by run-off gains. The results showed signs of the repricing measures taking effect, with the underwriting margin better than expected, while premiums were somewhat softer. We have reduced our 2020–2021e EPS by ~1%, mainly as a result of our lower premiums expectations. We reiterate our HOLD and have increased our target price to NOK155 (NOK150).Gjensidige Forskring provides insurance products to private and commercial customers in Norway, Denmark, Sweden and the Baltic states.
