Admiral shares target raised as RBC cites strong earnings trajectory

On Wednesday, RBC Capital Markets adjusted its outlook on Admiral Group Plc (LON:ADML) (ADM:LN) (OTC: AMIGY) shares, a leading player in the UK motor insurance sector. The firm increased the price target to GBP35.50, up from the previous GBP34.00, while reaffirming its Outperform rating on the stock.

The analyst at RBC Capital Markets highlighted Admiral Group's ongoing consolidation of its market leadership in the UK motor space. Despite uncertainties in pricing, the analyst noted that an increase in expense leverage should allow the company to grow and maintain healthy profit margins. Additionally, the analyst pointed to an improving earnings trajectory for the company's operations beyond the UK motor segment.

RBC Capital Markets anticipates a 19% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in Admiral Group's earnings from 2024 to 2026. As a result of this positive outlook, the firm has revised its earnings estimates by approximately 5% for the forecasted periods, leading to the new price target of 3550 pence.

The analyst's statement underscored the company's potential for growth and margin sustainability, concluding with a reiteration of the Outperform rating for Admiral Group. The price target adjustment reflects RBC Capital Markets' confidence in the insurer's earnings momentum and strategic positioning within the industry.
