Recap on IAG's FY25 results

IAG shares fell 0.12% after the insurer failed to impress investors with its FY25 report last week.

The insurer reported a 51.3% year-over-year increase in net profit after tax (NPAT) to $1.36 billion.

The company reported an insurance profit of $1.74 billion, up 21.2% on FY24.

After reviewing IAG's numbers, top broker Macquarie maintained a neutral rating on IAG shares.

The broker reduced its 12-month share price target on IAG from $9.20 to $9.10.

The broker said:

The final dividend slightly missed VA consensus expectations as the company retains excess capital to complete the pending acquisition of RACWA.

Trading at only a ~3.8% premium to weighted peers on a 2-yr fwd PE basis, we see current valuation as fair and retain our Neutral rating.

When will your dividend be paid?

IAG declared a final dividend for FY25 of 19 cents per share with 40% franking, up 11.8% on the final dividend for FY24.

This took the full-year FY25 dividend to 31 cents per share, up 14.8% from FY24.

IAG shares will pay the dividend on 18 September. The ex-dividend date is this Thursday.
