Small top line disappointment but increased buyback potential

CITI’S TAKE

SUN’s update today sees its GWP growth forecast downgraded from

Neutral “approximately 3%” to “around 2.7%” (Citi est: 3.2%) with particular

Price (02 Jul 26 16:00) A$19.35 weakness in NZ commercial rates as well as some evidence of softer

demand in Australia. Meanwhile, SUN’s FY27 main reinsurance renewal Target price A$17.50

appears broadly in line with expectations and prior market commentary Expected share price return -9.6%

with likely 10-15% reductions on its main CAT cover but, as expected, total Expected dividend yield 3.6%

FY27 reinsurance costs are above FY26 levels due to additional covers Expected total return -5.9%

purchased. Importantly too, the aggregate cover allows SUN to reduce not Market Cap A$20,512M

only regulatory capital requirements but allows it to hold less excess

US$14,385M capital above the mid point of its target operating range. This likely

improves the chances of a higher level of buyback over and above that

allowed for in its ongoing buyback facility. SUN continues to guide to an

underlying ITR towards the upper end of the 10-12% range. Nigel PittawayAC
