On Tuesday, Tryg A/S (TRYG:DC) (OTC: TGVSF) shares saw its price target increased by Jefferies to DKK170.00 from DKK164.00, while the firm maintained a Buy rating on the stock. The adjustment comes as the insurance company nears the release of its second-quarter results for 2024.
The anticipation of the upcoming earnings report has prompted market analysts to consider the potential impact of recent weather events. April's wet conditions followed by a dry May have raised concerns that weather-related losses could exceed budgeted amounts for the company.
Despite these concerns, Tryg's strategic shift away from corporate business is viewed positively. This move is expected to reduce earnings volatility for the insurer. According to Jefferies, this strategy aligns with Tryg's historical performance, potentially leading to the 29th consecutive year-on-year improvement in the quarterly underlying loss ratio of more than 50 basis points.
Tryg's consistent performance in improving its underlying loss ratio is a testament to the company's operational efficiency. The underlying loss ratio, a key indicator of profitability for insurers, measures the percentage of premiums paid out in claims and related expenses.
The revised price target by Jefferies reflects confidence in Tryg's ability to continue its trend of financial improvement. Investors and stakeholders will be closely watching as the company discloses its second-quarter financial results, which could further influence the stock's performance on the market.
