Gjensidige Forsikring (Hold, TP: NOK216.00) - Set for another four years of superior profitability

We expect focus at Gjensidige’s virtual CMD (scheduled for 24 November) to be on how it plans to preserve its superior profitability in Norway versus peers, and lift profitability elsewhere. While run-off gains beyond 2022e remain a key question, we expect limited guidance here – although we do expect Gjensidige to guide for a (reported) combined ratio of 85–88% for 2022–2025. With only small estimate changes, we reiterate our HOLD and NOK216 target price.
