** Brokerage is optimistic that the insurer will deliver a strong first-half result after the company confirmed in May that it was on track to meet the group's combined operating ratio expectation of about 92.5% for FY25
** If QBE achieves strong 1H result, it should lead to further share price advance as it continues to demonstrate lower volatility - Citi
** Citi also expects continued momentum in QBE's revenue, helped by foreign exchange tailwinds and strong investment returns
** Brokerage raises its estimate of earnings per share for QBE by 2% for fiscal years 2025-2027, incorporating mark-to-market, foreign exchange and other small changes
** Eight of 12 analysts rate the stock "buy" or higher, three "hold", and one "sell"; their median PT is A$25.00, according to data compiled by LSEG
