Tryg (Buy, TP: DKK185.00) - Earnings momentum still solid

Through both favourable weather and narrowing credit spreads, Q1 PTP was 48% higher YOY. Recent repricing efforts continue to take effect, as seen in a 0.3%-points improved underlying claims ratio YOY, although portfolio rebalancing weighed somewhat on growth. Supported by an outlook for abating motor claims pressure, we continue to find the investment case favourable. Having made limited EPS revisions for 2026–2027e, we reiterate our BUY and DKK185 target price.

A safer place to be

PTP beat from financials, UW inline

PTP beat from better financials, UW inline or a tad better. Reiterate '27 guidance and '25 premium growth from private/SMEs. Stock to outperform 1-3%; cons.est.rev. minor; strong read-x to GJF

Heads-up for Q1-report, 11 April

Mixed upside potential, despite market recovery expectations

Pent-up demand and falling interest rates remain the backbone for newbuild recovery expectations. However, as the recovery has not yet started, property developers screen as the most attractive long-term, but visibility remains mixed. Diversified construction companies are more attractive on near-term P/Es, although many seem to be fully valued on solid share-price performance over the past six months. We maintain a neutral sector view; NCC and Skanska are our top picks.

Nordic non-life Q1e: Should manage the turmoil

Efficient and with lower risk

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.

Non-life: Competition authority consider to look at the competition

The DCCA is out with report describing inefficient comp. Could be a drag for Tryg and ALMB despite the industry objections. ALMB drop looks attractive, but it could drag on for two more years.

Some early signs of improvement

NRC Group (Hold, TP: NOK4.50) - Results will speak for themselves

With its weaker-than-expected Q4, NRC Group reiterated its 2025 guidance for revenue of NOK7bn and an adj. EBIT margin above 2%. However, as the company has missed its revenue guidance and EBIT margin targets for seven years in a row (2018–2024), we await evidence of an EBIT margin recovery. We remain cautious, and believe NRC is a high-risk/high-reward investment case, with ample upside potential should it reach its EBIT margin targets. We reiterate our HOLD, but have cut our target price to NO...

Q4e: Improving market outlook

Keeping it cautious in 2024

Market hit it hard for financials

Tryg (Buy, TP: DKK185.00) - Continued repricing momentum

Underwriting continued to improve, helped by recent repricing efforts to mitigate inflation, although a soft investment result led to earnings pressure in Q4. With Private segment premium growth of 6.8% YOY in local currencies, supported by continued momentum from Norwegian motor price hikes, we see Tryg as on track to meet its 2027 combined ratio target of ~81%. We have made limited EPS revisions for 2025–2026e, and reiterate our BUY and DKK185 target price.
