Hiscox (HSX.L)

Model Update

CITI'S TAKE

We update our model post 1H earnings, raising 2026 US$ EPS by 21% due

to higher reserve releases and the exceptional tax credit. We lower 2027/8

EPS by 1% and 4% respectively mostly on a higher assumed combined

ratio in London Market and RE & ILS. We increase our Target Price by 15%

to £18.46 to reflect strong execution on the efficiency program and a

better assumed growth profile in Retail. With 6% total ETR, we reiterate

our Neutral recommendation. The shares trade on 2.4x 2026E TNAV for a

stable looking ~20% ROTE.
