NobleOak hits $500m in-force milestone as partnerships and AI drive HY26 growth

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

An update from NobleOak Life Ltd ( (AU:NOL) ) is now available.

NobleOak Life reported half-year 2026 results showing in-force premiums up 19% to $505 million, marking the halfway point to its $1 billion target, with underlying NPAT rising 11% to $9.6 million and a solid capital adequacy multiple of 174%. Growth was underpinned by strong new business, lower-than-industry lapse rates and continued market share gains, while a new alliance with nib, the Futura advised product launch with NEOS, and embedded AI initiatives are expected to support further expansion despite short-term direct sales disruption and a lower statutory profit due to a Victorian Stamp Duty provision.

In the Direct segment, in-force premiums rose 8% to $103.5 million and underlying NPAT surged 49% to $4.7 million, helped by reduced lapse rates, economies of scale and lower commissions following the RevTech trail repurchase. The Strategic Partner segment delivered 23% growth in in-force premiums to $401.3 million and 14% new business growth, although its underlying NPAT fell 12% amid a lower gross insurance margin, highlighting the mixed profitability profile as NobleOak pursues scale and leverages partnerships to drive long-term growth.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:NOL) stock is a Hold with a A$1.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on NobleOak Life Ltd stock, see the AU:NOL Stock Forecast page.
