Aegon's Conservative Accounting Expected to Set Scene for Next Plan -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Feb 25, 2025

1320 GMT - Aegon's conservative accounting was behind market disappointment after its annual results, but seems to prepare the groundwork for its next three-year plan, Berenberg says in a research note. Shares fell 9% Thursday after the Dutch insurer made a change to how it reports onerous contracts, which depressed its 2024 operating profit. The results presentation gave a clear guide on management's priorities for the plan they will outline in December, analyst Michael Huttner writes. These are likely to feature a greater focus on IFRS 17 operating profits, a timetable to reduce the U.S. Financial Assets capital employed to 2.2 billion euros from 3.4 billion euros, and a new buyback assumption, he says. Shares trade at 5.97 euros. (elena.vardon@wsj.com)
