The Legal & General share price is trading firmly in an ascending triangle pattern and could see strong gains with a breakout above that level.
Legal & General offers a strong dividend at a 6.5% dividend yield and Citigroup analysts were recently bullish about the company’s prospects.
“Management has consistently delivered double-digit EPS and strong DPS growth, yet this is not fully reflected in the shares,” Citi said.
As the business model matures, LGR reinsurance is close to self-funding and LGC, its alternative asset platform, is now a larger and growing part of the group. The next phase of the story is unlocking this value, said Citi, which includes demystifying LGC through progressive disclosure to more aggressive measures such as potentially selling minority stakes in LGC or LGR.
Citigroup has a 336p target from Citgroup.
