>Conclusion: Q1 rising US solvency and OCG in line, positive cap releases possible - Aegon will present a Q1 trading update in which we expect a rising US RBC solvency ratio and a stable UK Solvency ratio end-Q1 vs end-4Q. The gross cash capital at holding is expected to decline to € 1.9bn by end-Q1 23 (€ 2.4bn end-Q2 23) as a result of the large running SBB. We expect an OCG before holding/interest costs of € 246m in Q1 24. At the trading update it is possible that A...
>Conclusion: Attractive valuation, still much work to be done on sales & capital - Based on the FY23 results and targets we updated our valuation metrics and we come to a cash FCF yield of 9.7%, OCG yield of 11.6%, P/BV & CSM 0.6x multiple, and a for excess cap and a.s.r. stake adj. FCF yield 13.2% so a quite attractive valuation. Their OCG cap generations targets were a touch light but that is as they assume more production growth as that consumes OCG. The solvency i...
Friday we downgraded Aegon from accumulate to hold, given limited upside to our unchanged target price of €5.5 after the rally in the last few months. Despite solid results, we see limited possibilities for increasing our estimates on the back of (in our view) conservative guidance, which was reiterated today.

Positive was that they again announced some new Financial Asset cap release transactions. Als other the cash upstreaming was better than expected by a China asset management dividend upstreaming. We keep our Outperform recommendation.US, UK and group solvency better than expected - End 4Q23 the US RBC solven...
Aegon reported a solid semester, though aided by some one-offs both on OCG and FCF. Shareholder remuneration in line with expectations. Both our numbers and consensus are on the aggressive side of the OCG & FCF FY25 targets, which were reiterated today, leaving little room for further upgrades to our numbers. Given limited upside to our €5.5 TP, we move from accumulate to hold.
En ce début d’année 2024, nous privilégions les compagnies low-cost face aux majors. Nous estimons que la dynamique capacitaire restera plus favorable sur l’intra-européen que sur les routes long-courrier, ce qui permettra une évolution plus positive du pricing pour les LCC avec un levier opérationnel plus important. Nous dégradons par conséquent IAG en Neutre (vs Surperformance) avec un OC de 2 €, Lufthansa en Neutre (vs Surperformance) avec un OC de 8.5 € et finalement Air France-KL...
At the start of 2024, we are playing low-cost carriers over majors. We think that capacity momentum will remain more favourable on intra-European routes than on long-haul routes, which will lead to a more positive pricing trend for LCCs with greater operating leverage. We are therefore downgrading our recommendation on IAG to Neutral (from Outperform), with a target price of € 2, Lufthansa to Neutral (from Outperform), with a target price of € 8.5 and lastly, Air France-KLM to Underpe...

The gross cash capital at holding is expected to decline to € 2.3bn by end-4Q23 (€ 2.9bn end-3Q23) as a result of deleveraging and the SBB. We expect a stable underlying OCG in 4Q23 vs 3Q23. At the result day it is possible that Aegon would announce positive news the on Financial Asset capital ...
