0726 GMT - AXA's full-year earnings were roughly in line with consensus, which is reassuring after a disappointing first half hit by currency fluctuations, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods says in a research note. The French insurer's underlying trends align with expectations with resilient underlying margins offsetting low non-life volumes, analysts William Hawkins and Tamim Wardak write. "Given the weak performance since the middle of 2025, we think this is enough to support the share price today, even if none of the headlines move the dial too significantly," they note.
