Storebrand (Buy, TP: NOK75.00) - Set for capital-light growth
We consider the Storebrand 2020 CMD a validation of our investment case, as the company expects to reach a buy-back position in 2023, initiating a period of extensive capital release in the magnitude of ~33% of its current market cap (on top of ordinary dividends) until 2030. Storebrand also provided a rather upbeat 2023 guidance on the back of ambitious growth targets across capital-light products, expected to lift its ROE to 10%. We reiterate our BUY and NOK75 target price on largely unchanged estimates.Storebrand ASA is the parent company in a financial group. Co. is a provider of pension savings.
