Aviva business backdrop

Aviva's latest reported half-year numbers show operating profit of GBP1.09 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025, while general insurance premiums rose 29% year over year. The same interim report said the operating profit exceeded GBP1.0 billion and the company returned GBP900 million to shareholders through buybacks and dividends over the period.

Historically, that same half-year report also showed an IFRS profit after tax of GBP707 million, which gives context for the scale of the business before the latest trading update. For investors, the key question is whether the current share price can keep holding above the 20-day and 50-day averages while the operating profit base remains above the GBP1 billion mark.

Protection and savings

Aviva's protection, retirement and general insurance products are still the core of the group, with the business model anchored in recurring premiums and fee income. The protection and retirement mix matters because it helps balance the more cyclical parts of insurance earnings.
