Earnings carry a weaker comparison

Simply Wall St reported that Insurance Australia Group generated AUD 19.2 billion of revenue in fiscal 2026, up 10.00 percent from fiscal 2025. Net income moved in the opposite direction, falling 25.00 percent to AUD 1.02 billion from AUD 1.36 billion in fiscal 2025.

The same fiscal-year report put earnings per share at AUD 0.43, compared with AUD 0.57 in fiscal 2025. The contrast between higher revenue and lower profit makes the margin trend more important than premium growth alone.
