15/8/2019 09:29	Interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2019 - HTTPS://www.investegate.co.uk/admiral-group-plc--adm-/gnw/admiral-group-plc-results-for-the-six-months-ended-30-june-2019/20190814070000H7123/ Admiral not living up to valuation, says Shore Capital - HTTPS://citywire.co.uk/funds-insider/news/the-expert-view-sports-direct-balfour-beatty-and-admiral/a1259587#i=4 Insurer Admiral (ADML) is priced for ‘significant growth’ but this is not reflected in its outlook, says Shore Capital. Analyst Paul De’Ath retained his ‘sell’ recommendation on the stock despite ‘excellent headline profits’ in its first-half results. The shares rose 3.8% to £21.10 yesterday. ‘Admiral has long traded on a premium to the rest of the UK non-life insurers, but we believe that this is not reflective of the actual outlook,’ he said. ‘The business remains fundamentally a UK motor insurer where Admiral is now a mature incumbent rather than a fast-growth challenger… Admiral remains priced for significant growth but this does not reflect the medium-term outlook.’	speedsgh	Read Full Thread Reply

08/3/2019 09:25	Admiral faces uncertain 2019, says Numis - HTTPS://citywire.co.uk/funds-insider/news/the-expert-view-greggs-admiral-and-schroders/a1207576#i=3 Rising cost claims have hit insurer Admiral’s (ADM) competitiveness and the market is trying to work out what motor margins will look like this year, says Numis. Analyst Nick Johnson retained his ‘add’ recommendation and target price of £21.45 on the stock after 2018 profit before tax came in ahead of consensus at £479 million, up 18% on the previous year. However, the outlook is not completely rosy for the insurer. ‘As well as pointing out the positives, refreshingly the chief executive’s headline comments are also honest about the negatives - mainly being a slowdown in the UK motor business in the second half of the year, with Admiral saying it reduced its competitiveness in the face of rising claims costs,’ said Johnson. ‘We expect this to be the main area of focus as the market attempts to get a handle on the margin outlook for UK motor in 2019.’ The shares fell 4.7% to £20.89 yesterday.	speedsgh	Read Full Thread Reply

16/8/2018 10:19	Admiral profits and dividend buoy investors - HTTP://citywire.co.uk/money/the-expert-view-interserve-ocado-and-hikma/a1147094#i=6 Admiral (ADM) may have seen a rise in half-year profits but the insurer hasn’t escaped the impact of the Beast from the East, says The Share Centre. The insurer posted a 9% rise in half year profits, boosted by car insurance where profits were up 11.3%. The shares rose 3.2% to £20.62 yesterday. ‘Investors should be pleased with the 7% increase in the dividend to 60p and further encouragement should be found in the increasing customer base, up 14% to 6.2 million as well as the enlarged overall turnover up 14% to £1.7 billion,’ said analyst Graham Spooner. ‘However... it did report that the Beast from the East earlier this year had a detrimental impact on the group’s UK household division, pushing it into the red.’ Spooner added that the shares had ‘traded sideways’ over the past two years but he continued to recommend them as a ‘hold’ for ‘medium risk investors geared to income due to the strength of the motor business in the UK, improving overseas operations, and the strong capital position’.	speedsgh	Read Full Thread Reply

Nos opérations européennes sont rentables! Or probably more accurately, given that over half of our European customers are Italian - le nostre compagnie Europee sono in profitto! Moreover, the European insurers delivered overall profitability whilst growing the business by almost a fifth in a year. But that's not the only important milestone in the first half, which was characterised by substantial growth across almost all our businesses. Most importantly, the core UK car insurance business continues to grow both in terms of profit and customer numbers. Early in 2018 we passed the four million mark for cars on cover - the car that hit the milestone was a Peugeot 108; our first 25 years ago was an Isuzu Piazza. All of this is underpinned by our strong culture and hard-working, customer-focused staff, and we are proud to have been named the 3rd Best Company to Work For in the UK, as well as the 10th Best Workplace in Europe and 3rd in Italy.' Dividend The Directors have declared an interim dividend of 60.0 pence, representing a normal dividend of 40.8 pence per share and a special dividend of 19.2 pence per share. The dividend will be paid on 5 October 2018. The ex-dividend date is 6 September 2018 and the record date is 7 September 2018.	speedsgh	Read Full Thread Reply

20/3/2018 11:04	Personal injury compensation reforms announced - HTTPS://www.investegate.co.uk/ministry-of-justice/rns/personal-injury-compensation-reforms-announced/201803200700021492I/ The Government is today introducing the Civil Liability Bill into the House of Lords to make important changes to the system of compensation for personal injury in England and Wales. The Bill will reform the law of England and Wales relating to whiplash claims and the way in which the personal injury discount rate is set under the Damages Act 1996. The principal changes in respect of the discount rate are that the rate will be set by reference to expected rates of return on a low risk diversified portfolio of investments rather than on very low risk investments as under the present law; in setting the rate, the Lord Chancellor will consult an independent expert panel chaired by the Government Actuary, with HM Treasury remaining a statutory consultee; and the discount rate will be reviewed promptly after the legislation comes into force and, thereafter, at least every three years. The introduction of the legislation follows the conclusion of the Government's consideration of the report of the Justice Select Committee on the draft legislation published by the Ministry of Justice in September 2017. The Government's response to the Committee's report will also be published later today.	speedsgh	Read Full Thread Reply

28/2/2018 13:53	Admiral Group plc announces a record Group profit before tax of £405 million for the year ended 31 December 2017 - HTTPS://www.investegate.co.uk/admiral-group-plc--adm-/gnw/admiral-group-plc-announces-a-record-group-prof---/20180228070042H2079/ Comment from David Stevens, Group Chief Executive Officer "It's 25 years since the launch of Admiral. 2016 was only the second year we'd ever reported a year on year fall in profits. So it's great to be back in the groove, with a 23rd year of "record profits". Beyond the pure financials, there's also a lot going on that helps build the longer-term prosperity of the Group - notably our investment in widening our product range (van, travel, loans in 2017) in a way that helps us attract more customers, and understand and serve better both new & existing customers. Whilst lots of things have changed, some things have remained the same, including the importance we attach to our staff's well-being. After 17 years of featuring highly as one of the Best Places To Work in the UK, and 15 years in the European rankings, 2017 saw us make it onto the "Best Places in the World" rankings, coming a creditable 23rd."	speedsgh	Read Full Thread Reply

05/1/2018 08:10	Deutsche Bank upbeat on European insurance sector, raising price targets for a swathe of UK names - HTTPS://tinyurl.com/y8eqoemr The bank's analysts said insurers "look reasonably positioned – cushioned against market weakness by strong balance sheets and on PEs that are well within the long-term trading range” Deutsche Bank has issued an upbeat note on the European insurance sector at the start of 2018, raising price targets for a swathe of UK names including Admiral Group PLC (LON:ADM), esure Group PLC (LON:ESUR), Legal & General Group PLC (LON:LGEN), Prudential PLC (LON:PRU), St James’s Place PLC (LON:STJ), and RSA Insurance Group PLC (LON:RSA). In a note to clients, the German bank’s analysts said: “Strong balance sheets provide underpin; rising yields offer optionality.” They added: “DB's strategists are generally cautious on the year ahead, but insurers nonetheless look reasonably positioned – cushioned against market weakness by strong balance sheets and on PEs that are well within the long-term trading range.” The analysts concluded: “Overall, we feel the sector can modestly outperform in 2018, particularly if bond yields rise (as DB expects) – though given our cautious top-down view, our preference is for higher-quality/safer stocks.” They noted that many of the higher-quality insurance stocks performed well in 2017, and selectively they see this momentum continuing, highlighting Prudential. The analysts also analysed the downside in UK insurers from UK political risk, concluding that for most stocks the impact of a hard Brexit, for instance, is manageable. They said that, in this regard, the December rally in UK insurers looks justified, while Aviva PLC (LON:AV.) and - to a lesser extent - L&G still look oversold. In contrast, the analysts downgraded their rating for Phoenix Group Holdings PLC (LON:PHNX) to ‘hold’ from ‘buy’, primarily reflecting their perception that “the market for UK closed book acquisitions has become more competitive, implying less potential accretion on future deals.”	speedsgh	Read Full Thread Reply
