AXA and Hiscox receive updated price targets from analysts

Financial analysts have issued updated price targets for major insurance providers AXA and Hiscox.

RBC has lowered its price target for AXA from 54 to 52 euros, though it maintains an ‘Outperform’ rating. The bank noted that while AI-driven automation and data processing could accelerate growth by improving customer retention, it is not a guaranteed driver for meeting distribution targets. RBC also adjusted its earnings per share assumptions following changes in expectations regarding share buybacks.

In contrast, Barclays has raised its price target for Hiscox from 1,820 to 2,030 pence, maintaining an ‘Overweight’ rating. This represents an 11.54 percent increase over the previous target. Hiscox, which is based in Bermuda and listed in London, also announced an interim dividend for the first half of 2026.
