Suncorp's 1H Dividend May Disappoint Some -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Jan 13

0126 GMT - Some Suncorp shareholders might face short-term disappointment over the Australian insurer's dividend, according to Morgan Stanley analyst Andrei Stadnik. While his forecast for Suncorp's full-year payout sits 2% above consensus, Stadnik reckons that many watchers are overlooking what he thinks will be a seasonal skew toward the second half. His first-half dividend forecast is 30% lower than consensus on a 65% payout ratio. Stadnik adds that Suncorp's catastrophe budget is the weakest among Australian insurers, but that it has several self-help reinsurance options for its mid-2026 renewals. MS keeps an overweight rating and A$22.55 target price on the stock, which is up 1.6% at A$17.355. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
