Kingspan lifted full year trading profit guidance to about €1.125b and is now targeting an 11% margin for 2026. Short term traders may fixate on the recent rally. Long term holders will focus on whether this upgraded...

FBD Holdings walked into this earnings day with a solid recent run, the stock up over 7% in the last three months, yet the real story sits in the profit engine. The headline from H1 is simple. The insurer is converting more of every euro of premium into profit, with net profit margin over the last 12 months at 13.2% compared with 11.1% a year earlier and earnings up 30.6% over that period. For a stock trading on a P/E of 9.1x and sitting well below some analyst fair value estimates, that kind...
