    Alm. Brand Upgrades 2026 Guidance as Combined Ratio Improves to 86.5-87.5

    Question

    Alm. Brand Upgrades 2026 Guidance as Combined Ratio Improves to 86.5-87.5

    Direct answer

    Alm. Brand upgraded its 2026 financial guidance on the back of strong third-quarter claims experience. Favorable weather conditions and run-off gains allowed the insurer to trim its combined ratio projection by 150-250 basis points to 86.5-87.5. The DKK 250 million increase in expected insurance service earnings underscores benign catastrophic loss activity for Nordic property and casualty insurers during the late summer quarter.
