Storebrand (Buy, TP: NOK109.00) - Running-off in style

Storebrand hosted a Capital Update meeting on 8 December focusing on the earnings uplift from higher interest rates. Management expects to release more than NOK10bn in capital by 2030, supported by NOK1bn in annual earnings from increased profit-sharing and higher returns on the company’s NOK32bn portfolio. In addition, the board approved lowering the solvency capital distribution threshold to 175% (180%). We have increased 2023–2024 EPS by 1–3% and reiterate our BUY and target price of NOK109.
