0705 GMT - References to Zurich Insurance's takeover offer for cyber insurer Beazley are likely to take the center stage but this shouldn't cast a shadow on its 2025 results, Jefferies says in a research note. The Swiss insurer reported double-digit growth in its operating profit and in its core return on equity, while lifting its dividend by 7%. These are considerable achievements, analysts Philip Kett and Derald Goh write. "In our view, if it weren't for the overhang of an impending equity raise, the shares would be up on this," they say.
