Analysts trim the valuation

Three dates define the case

Legal & General announced its half-year 2026 results on August 5, reporting core operating profit of GBP 918 million.

The latest event came on October 15, when the analyst consensus and GBp 276.86 average target were reported.

What does capital quality mean?

The stronger earnings profile comes with a capital counterweight. S&P Global Ratings said the Solvency Capital Requirement coverage ratio stood at 201 percent in the first half of 2026, down from 217 percent in the first half of 2025, while the group targets a 160 percent to 190 percent range.
