Aviva (AV): news on Friday 16 October 2026

+6.7 strongly positive

Coverage was mainly positive, led by a £280m wealth operating profit target for 2027, a new five-year Q Underwriting partnership that lifted the shares, and a £90m FirstGroup pension buy-in. A UBS target price held and Aviva staying top of the insurer table despite lower premiums added modest support.
