Reports on Sampo Oyj Class A

Solid growth momentum into 2025e

Helped by benign weather with few storms, we expect solid underwriting across the Nordic P&C sector for Q1, with underlying performance further supported by earned repricing momentum and abating claims inflation. The sector is trading at an attractive average 2026e P/E of c15.2x and we see solid capital distribution prospects. We reiterate our recommendations on all our covered sector names and highlight Tryg as our top pick.

Sampo Oyj (Buy, TP: EUR9.80) - Minor model adjustments

We have adjusted our estimates to reflect the now completed 4-to-1 share split announced by the board on 5 February. While we forecast unchanged earnings, we have revised our 2025–2027e EPS and DPS due to the increased share count. We do not consider these changes to be material, and we have not changed our BUY recommendation. We have adjusted our target price to EUR9.80 (49).

Sampo Oyj (Buy, TP: EUR49.00) - Strong underwriting momentum

Against a backdrop of soft financial markets and one-off integration costs, Sampo continues to deliver a solid underwriting performance, with the Q4 adjusted risk ratio improving by 0.3%-points YOY, helped by currency-adjusted GWP growth of 18% YOY. We believe the company’s efforts to mitigate claims inflation and increased frequencies should support growth and earnings, in line with the ambitions from the 2024 CMD, and have raised our 2025–2026e EPS by ~1%. We reiterate our BUY and have raised ...

Repricing set to support profitability

The outlook for strong growth momentum in the Nordic P&C sector remains, with the recent rounds of premium repricing yet to take full effect. Furthermore, underwriting profitability is still a key focus, illustrated by Tryg raising its long-term combined ratio target to ~81% at the 2024 CMD. We believe signs of slowing claims inflation, albeit from high levels, together with mostly normal weather, bode well for Q4 underwriting. We have three BUYs and one HOLD, and highlight Sampo as our top sect...
