28.25%

UBS observes QBE Insurance's 3Q25 update showed FY25 earnings and FY26 outlook on track despite softer premium rates, with weaker underlying loss ratio offset by benign CATs.

Management expects underwriting to improve in FY26 via A&H repricing, cost efficiencies, and reinsurance savings. The broker believes FY26 earnings are well-supported by FY26 COR guidance of around 92.5% which supports about 16% ROE.

Expectations of mid-single-digit growth, steady yields, and a $450m buyback are also supportive of the FY26 outlook, the broker adds.

FY25 EPS forecast lifted by 0.7% on higher investment income and FY26 by 0.2% on improved COR. Buy retained with trimmed target of $24.15 from $24.70.

FORECAST
UBS forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 98.00 cents and EPS of 207.00 cents.
UBS forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 96.00 cents and EPS of 191.44 cents.

QBE Insurance' 3Q2025 trading update retained combined operating ratio at 92.5% and showed robust constant currency gross written premium growth of 6% year-to-date on the prior year.

Jarden observes robust international growth of 11% and North America at 3%. Premium rate rose 1.5% for the 9 months ending September, which was lower than the 1H run rate of 2.1%, which suggests to the analyst the group rate was slightly negative for the quarter.

Management reconfirmed FY25 guidance of mid-single digits constant currency growth in gross written premium and offered FY26 guidance for the core operating ratio of 92.5%.

The broker lowers EPS forecasts by -9.4% for FY26 and -0.2% for FY27, with FY28 lifted by 18%. Neutral rated. Target is lifted to $20.70 from $20.20.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 96.00 cents and EPS of 206.85 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 96.00 cents and EPS of 192.06 cents.
