Helios Underwriting ( (GB:HUW) ) has shared an update.
Helios Underwriting, the only publicly traded vehicle giving investors access to a diversified portfolio of Lloyd’s of London syndicates, reported that its 2023 and 2024 years of account are performing ahead of earlier expectations. The company said prior years’ estimates continue to improve, underlining strong pricing, with the 2023 mid-point profit forecast rising to 17.0% and the 2024 forecast nudging up to 9.3% despite elevated catastrophe losses, while early indications for 2025 point to favourable conditions.
With profits from the 2023 year of account to be realised in May 2026, Helios’s board has approved a share repurchase programme of up to £2 million to return capital to shareholders. The buyback, conducted within existing AGM authority and regulatory limits, will see shares acquired on the open market at prices capped by both market-based thresholds and the company’s net tangible asset value, with repurchased stock held in treasury for potential reissue or cancellation.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:HUW) stock is a Hold with a £214.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Helios Underwriting stock, see the GB:HUW Stock Forecast page.
