0618 GMT - AXA can eye faster top-line growth ahead, writes Michael Huttner, insurance analyst at Berenberg. The French insurer booked some 8% growth in its health-insurance business over the first quarter, it said in an update earlier this month. "We believe that this growth will likely accelerate because AXA has now put in place the means to control claims costs and keep pricing at affordable levels within all its main units," Huttner tells investors in a note. Berenberg has a 57.40-euro target on the stock. ((joshua.kirby@wsj.com; @joshualeokirby))
