CHESNARA

Chesnara increased operating capital generation in H1 2026 by 79% to £96m, supported by the full consolidation of Chesnara Life following the acquisition of HSBC Life UK. Cash remittances rose 31% to £73m, the adjusted operating result grew 46% to £31m, and the Solvency-II ratio stood at a robust 185%. The company raised the interim dividend by 6% to 8.16 pence per share and expects recurring measures and M&A transactions such as Scottish Widows Europe to provide additional cash flows. Management emphasises a sustainable recurring OCG run-rate of around £33m per half-year but notes that about £51m of the H1 OCG was one-off and acquisition-related. » Mais em de.investing.com
