Hence, UBS suggests the target of 60% of contestable gross written premium on the platform is still achievable, albeit likely beyond FY24. The monetisation will be brought forward under a revised professional services fees agreement with insurers.
The broker envisages around 10% growth in earnings per share over FY20-23 and initiates coverage with a Buy rating and $3.90 target.
