The 1H 2026 results show solid operational momentum, particularly in the US, but the flat net profit and declining free cash flow temper the positive headline. The increased buyback and dividend signal capital return confidence, but the EUR 294 million assumption charges and 15ppt drop in the solvency ratio warrant caution. The key catalyst is the October 8 EGM for the US redomiciliation; monitor for any shareholder pushback or regulatory delays. The sale of Aegon UK to Standard Life is progressing and expected to close in 2H 2026, which will simplify the group structure.
