- Sampo reported EUR 2,437 million in insurance revenue for January to June 2026.
- Sampo's market capitalization was EUR 24.5 billion as of October 23, 2026.
Sampo (ISIN FI4000552500) received a higher EUR 11.20 price target from Nordea, up from EUR 10.90, while the bank retained its Buy rating on October 13, 2026, according to MarketScreener. The change puts the upcoming third-quarter report at the center of the investment case.
What does the target change signal?
Nordea's revised target implies a more favorable valuation view, even though the bank cut its 2026 earnings-per-share forecast by 5 percent. It raised its forecasts for 2027 and 2028 by 3 percent and 4 percent, respectively, according to MarketScreener.
Sampo's latest reported figures cover January to June 2026. Its investor-relations page lists EUR 2,437 million of insurance revenue, EUR 418 million of underwriting result, an 82.9 percent combined ratio and EUR 584 million of profit before taxes for the period, alongside operating earnings per share of EUR 0.14, according to Sampo. These figures give investors a concrete baseline for the next report.
Three events shaped the story
On September 22, 2026, Sampo repurchased 781,436 shares through an accelerated bookbuild at EUR 9.00 per share, according to MFN. On September 25, 2026, the company disclosed an EUR 118 million impairment tied to Danish information-technology assets for the third quarter, according to MFN. Nordea's October 13 target revision is the latest of the three events.
When are the next dates?
Sampo is scheduled to publish its third-quarter 2026 results on November 4, 2026, followed by its 2026 financial statement release on February 4, 2027, according to MFN. The dates make the impairment charge and Nordea's forecast changes relevant reference points for the next earnings release.
Scale meets a near-term test
Sampo's market capitalization was EUR 24.5 billion as of October 23, 2026, while its 52-week range was EUR 8.63 to EUR 10.39. The next report will show whether the operating performance can support the valuation view behind Nordea's EUR 11.20 target.
