Storebrand (Buy, TP: NOK70.00) - Patience set to be rewarded
While the drop in Storebrand’s Solvency II ratio in Q1 will delay distributions of excess capital, the long-term value remains intact and we expect excess capital to eventually be distributed to shareholders from 2022. To reflect further AUM deterioration towards the end of March, we have trimmed our 2021e EPS by ~2%. Following a change of analyst, we have reduced our target price to NOK70 (75), but reiterate our BUY.Storebrand ASA is the parent company in a financial group. Co. is a provider of pension savings.
