RBC Capital Markets highlights Hiscox Ltd's retail insurance segment as the main driver for future profit growth, noting the company's valuation undervalues rising retail exposure and efficiency gains. Retail insurance made up 37% of retail premiums in 2025, with AI tools improving productivity by 40% and aiding customer acquisition. Hiscox is well positioned to offset softening pricing in other segments, supported by a $200 million cost-cutting program aiming for significant profit increases by 2028. RBC maintains an 'outperform' rating and a 1,850p price target, seeing the shares as undervalued relative to expected earnings growth.
