Helia's Organic Capital Generation Looks Unsustainable -- Market Talk

2227 GMT - Helia's organic capital generation does not look sustainable to Goldman Sachs analyst John Li. He tells clients in a note that, while the Australian mortgage insurer's loss of a key contract with Commonwealth Bank is a net positive for capital generation, it's notable that the company's organic capital generation has been supported by outperformance on incurred claims. This is not likely to continue, in his view. He also warns that the loss of the Commonwealth contract suggests that growth in new business remains challenging. Goldman cuts its target price 26% to A$3.70 and keeps a neutral rating on the stock. Shares are at A$3.66 ahead of the open. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
