Protector Forsikring

Protector recorded currency-adjusted gross premium growth of 21% to NOK 6,339m in Q1 2026 and improved its Combined Ratio to 84.9%. Despite better underwriting metrics, net profit for the period fell from NOK 748m to NOK 165m, mainly due to investment losses (-NOK 282m) and issues in the motor segment. France showed especially strong premium growth (+172%), while Norway and Denmark suffered from claims inflation in the motor business. The SCR ratio remained robust at 220% and the board approved a dividend of NOK 8 per share; management continues to stress a focus on profitability and measures to improve motor performance. » More on de.investing.com
