Storebrand (NO0003053605) remains a core Norwegian insurer on Euronext Oslo Børs, with its shares trading in the financials-heavy Oslo market alongside peers such as Gjensidige and Tryg. The group continues to emphasize capital-light savings, asset management and pension solutions as key pillars of its long-term strategy per its investor materials.

Where Storebrand operates and competes

Storebrand focuses on insurance, pensions and savings primarily in Norway and Sweden, making it a regional peer to Nordic groups such as Gjensidige Forsikring and Sampo in the broader European insurance universe. On Euronext Oslo Børs, financials remain a significant component of the OSEBX benchmark index, which closed at 1,944.97 points on 23 June 2026 according to the official exchange overview from Euronext Oslo Børs.

While energy names dominate headlines in Oslo, investors in Storebrand often compare its performance and capital returns with listed insurance peers in Scandinavia and continental Europe. The company positions itself as a provider of occupational pensions and long-term savings products, which are structurally supported by aging populations and strong Nordic pension frameworks.

Valuation and balance sheet indicators

Valuation metrics such as price to tangible book value (P/TBV) provide one lens for assessing Storebrand’s stock relative to other insurers. Financial data platform Eulerpool reports a P/TBV for Storebrand A of 2.82 for 2026, down from 3.04 in 2025, corresponding to a year-on-year change of -7.19 percent according to Eulerpool’s Storebrand overview.

This level places Storebrand in a valuation band that reflects both its established franchise in Nordic pensions and the capital requirements of insurance balance sheets. Investors track how this multiple evolves alongside reported solvency ratios, dividend distributions and share buyback activity across the sector, even though those specific metrics require reference to the latest quarterly disclosures.

How Storebrand earns its money

Storebrand generates revenue primarily from life insurance, occupational pensions, asset management fees and banking services tied to long-term savings and retirement products, as presented in its investor-relations documentation. The business mix features capital-light unit-linked and defined contribution solutions, alongside traditional guaranteed pension portfolios in run-off.
