Business

Is the company getting stronger, not just bigger? · 1 finding
−3 of −30
  • Business abroad
    Norway carries the group (personal-lines combined ratio 66.8%), while Danish personal lines have only now improved to 90.0% from 99.5%, and Sweden is at 91.6% with only 1.6% market share. Expansion abroad has for years delivered far lower returns than the home market.

Price

Today's multiples against the company's own history and its peers. · 2 findings
−4 of −35
  • Multiples vs own history
    P/B 5.62 vs 3.86–5.33 in 2021–2025 (a record) and P/TBV 8.2; trailing P/E 20.5 vs 15.0–28.4. The forward P/E on 2026 EPS (16.7) is at the low end of 15.6–19.7, though, so book value is expensive, earnings are not.
    −3
  • Peers
    P/B 5.62 at a 27% ROE vs Sampo (3.2/24%) and Tryg (2.25/12%); forward P/E about 15–17 vs Sampo 15.0 and Tryg 13.9. The premium is largely explained by the higher return, but there is no discount.
    −1

Cracks

Cash flow, customers, debt, insiders, guidance and what sits behind the headline numbers. · 3 findings
−4 of −35
  • Workers' comp and reserves
    The Supreme Court ruling of 28 April 2026 on loss of earning capacity cost NOK 419m in Q2 (combined ratio 78.9% vs 75.2% adjusted). The industry has set aside about DKK 4–4.5bn in total, while the Ministry of Employment estimates 10–30bn; risk of further provisions in Denmark.
    −2
  • Governance
    The Gjensidige Foundation is the controlling shareholder, and the free float is only about 38% (188.8m of 500m shares); insiders own 0.04%. Minority shareholders have limited influence.
    −1
  • Claims inflation and weather
    The company expects 4–7% claims inflation in motor and 4–6% in property over the next 12–18 months; the margin requires continued price increases, and weather and large losses can quickly move the combined ratio from its record-low level.
    −1

Plus

Only documented strengths. · 2 findings
+3 of +15
  • Higher targets
    All earlier financial targets have been met; at the 2026 capital markets day the 2027–2028 targets were raised to a combined ratio below 81%, ROE above 28% and an insurance result above NOK 10bn (2026: above 7.5bn).
    +2
  • Pricing power and underlying operations
    Q2 2026: insurance revenue +9.3% in local currency, underlying frequency claims ratio improved 4.0 pp, expense ratio 11.7%, ROE 33.3% and solvency 189%.
    +1

Caveats

What the score does not capture, or where the data is weak.
Insurance: FCF is not fully meaningful; payouts are measured against net income. Dividends and buybacks earn no plus because the payout ratio is 110% of net income (ordinary + special dividend from excess capital). Stockanalysis' forward P/E of 15.2 is 12 months forward; on 2026 EPS (15.65) it is 16.7. The share is −7% over one year with RSI 30 ahead of Q3 results on 23 Oct. The pension business and investment portfolio have not been examined separately.
