IAG Loses Bulls Amid Tech-Disruption Risk -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Yesterday

0133 GMT - IAG loses its bulls at Macquarie, where analysts reckon it is the Australian insurer most at risk from tech disruption. Lowering their recommendation to neutral from outperform, the analysts tell clients in a note that incumbent insurers are at a disadvantage in relation to artificial-intelligence-related disruption due to their complex technology infrastructure. While Macquarie's analyst don't expect tech companies to directly engage in highly regulated financial services, they do see scope for underwriting agencies to go direct-to-consumer by leveraging their existing tech platforms. "IAG's starting point on technology could be its largest challenge," they write. Macquarie lowers its target price on the stock 5.6% to 8.50 Australian dollars. Shares are down 2.8% at A$8.05.
