E' fra quelle che tengo d'occhi per una serie di ragioni, non ultima l'essere possibile preda di altri gruppi.
Le quotazioni erano però salite a livelli stellari: a febbraio eravamo già una spanna sopra i target price dati da molti analisti per l'intero anno...
I dati sono positivi: hanno cominciato a ristrutturarsi più tardi di altri, ma i risultati si vedono:
ZURICH (AFX) - Zurich Financial Services reported a better-than-expected
first quarter net profit of 785 mln usd, up from 779 mln last year, citing a
strong operational performance in all segments following recent restructuring
efforts.
The profit surpassed the consensus forecast of 749 mln usd, despite a charge
of 262 mln usd net of tax related to regulatory settlements over insurance
bid-rigging charges in the US.
Business operating profit rose 31 pct to 1.359 bln usd, from 1.034 bln the
year earlier, while the group's general insurance combined ratio reached 95.1
pct, an improvement of 1.8 pct year-on-year.
The net investment result for group investments stood unchanged at 2.2 bln
usd, with higher yields offset by negative currency impacts.
"Thanks to our relentless focus on underwriting and financial discipline, we
remain confident in our ability to continue to write profitable business," chief
executive James Schiro said.
The growth in life and improving new business profit margins also
demonstrates the effectiveness of the group's restructured operating model and
market strategy, he added.
Zurich said it was "well on track" to achieve the targeted 500 mln usd
savings from its restructuring programme.
In the general insurance segment, strong performances in all its major
markets resulted in an operating profit of 886 mln usd, up 45 pct on last year.
The result was driven by an underwriting profit of 338 mln usd, up 61 pct
year-on-year, and an investment income of 749 mln usd, up 18 pct.
Improvements were particularly noticeable in the Global Corporate, North
America Commercial and Europe General Insurance segment, Zurich Financial said.
Gross written premiums increased by 1 pct in local currency but showed a 4
pct fall in US dollars.
Markets continue to be competitive, with premium rates stable in personal
lines business but with some declines in commercial lines of business,
particularly casualty lines, Zurich said.
In US property classes, prices increased especially in areas subject to
natural catastrophes and are expected to continue to do so in the second
quarter, the Swiss insurer said.
The Global Life business continued the positive trend seen throughout 2005,
with first quarter business profit 275 mln usd, up 62 pct over last year.
Gross written premiums in the segment rose 16 pct in local currencies and 4
pct in US dollar terms, it said.
In the UK, the segment's improvements reflect Zurich's restructuring success
and, in addition, a positive comparison to the first quarter 2005 which was
adversely affected by one-off charges.

Molto, ha rotto il supporto a 52 settimane a quota 35... dovrebbe tornarci prima o poi a testarlo come resistenza...
Il problema è che non è detto che le cattive notizie siano finite... so di gente che c'è dentro da quota 47 e ha comprato su tutti gli scalini tecnici della caduta...
In prospettiva la possibile uscita dallo SMI 30 (in parte già scontata nei corsi), ma soprattutto i problemi con Premiere, il principale cliente, sia per le azioni di pirateria pare condotte con successo anche sulle smart card kudelski di ultima generazione, sia per i problemi di Premiere che si è vista sfilare i diritti sul campionato tedesco da Unity Media...

Oggi non fa testo, è rimbalzo quasi per tutto... penso che anche nei prossimi giorni potrebbero esserci ricoperture...
La scommessa è se la correzione sia tutta qui oppure ci sia altro... a guardare al nasdaq, sembrerebbe che non sia finita qui...
ffff..... sempre stabile
