United Bankers: Sales should pick up clearly in early 2024
In light of the numbers, the H2 report was slightly better than we expected, and the guidance indicating earnings growth was also a positive surprise. The distribution of the fees was somewhat weaker than we expected, which together with subdued new sales left a neutral overview of the report. We made positive revisions to our forecasts and still expect good earnings growth from the company in the coming years, driven by a pick-up in new sales. Compared to our forecasts, the valuation is favorable and we find the return/reward ratio attractive.
