I had a policy with Admiral until recently.

Some kindly person left me a fist sized dent in the rear of car.

The garage cost of repair was £1k.

No whiplash, no fraud, just the repair and the courtesy car.

The final 'cost of claim' was over £4K!!!!!

Is this a very clever accounting trick by Admiral or is the market rightly worried by the rising cost of claims?

And who owns these 'claim management companies'? I want a piece!!

Half year profits at a record; dividend up 20%, but shares down 9%.

What can of worms in the woodshed am I missing....

Nobody here got any comments on the results last month !



Admiral announces another record profit coupled with continued strong growth. Profit before tax at £266m was 23% ahead of 2009, whilst turnover rose 47% to £1.58bn. The Board is proposing a record final dividend for 2010 of 35.5p per share, to be paid on 10 June 2011. The Directors have proposed a final dividend of 35.5p per share which will be paid on 10 June 2011. The ex-dividend date is 18 May 2011 and the record date 20 May 2011.

They seem to be pretty good to me.

Results are always good. We run a tight ship at Admiral.
The anciliaries help to give the profit a good base.

Been working here for 15 years, and never felt safer.

I am tempted to sell is a bid likely, are the results next month going to be OK. If you compare this to other insurers it is expensive on a PE basis

Rumour resurfacing

[phatfinga] 23/12/2010 08:26

Message on our Intranet in work about the takeover.

"There's an article in the Daily Mail dated 21st December about Zurich Financial making an offer to buy Admiral.

This rumour is completely unfounded. In fact Zurich Financial has not even contacted us in any way, nor has any other organisation. "
