Investing.com - Goldman Sachs reinstated coverage on Ageas (AGS:BB) (OTC:AGESY) with a Neutral rating and a price target of EUR70.00. The stock trades at a P/E ratio of 7.46, and InvestingPro analysis suggests the company appears undervalued at current levels.
Analyst Andrew Baker cited the company’s complexity following recent mergers and acquisitions as a key factor in the rating. Ageas now holds 100% ownership of AG Insurance, Belgium’s leading insurer, and operates as a top-three player in UK personal lines.
Goldman Sachs believes Ageas is entering an execution phase with limited upside risk from esure expense synergies. The firm sees the company’s structure as more complex compared to its Benelux peers. The company has delivered a 26% return over the past year and maintains a 4.65% dividend yield, having paid dividends for 17 consecutive years.
The analyst noted some upside risk to the 2026 Visible Alpha Consensus Data Net Operating Profit. Goldman Sachs’ expectations align more closely with Ageas’ 2025-2027 planning targets.
Ageas shares many attributes with Dutch life insurers, according to the analyst. The 12-month price target reflects the firm’s assessment of the company’s current position following its acquisition activity.
