Protector (Buy, TP: NOK264.00) - GWP growth momentum building
We expect strong group GWP growth in Q1 to be partly offset by a more modest investment performance, resulting in PTP of NOK540m, down 16% YOY. Q1 is typically a low-volume quarter for the UK, but we expect continued strong growth from important 1 April renewals. We have made limited revisions to our 2025–2026e EPS, and reiterate our BUY and NOK264 target price.Protector Forsking is engaged in non-marine insurance.
