In 2024, 12 domestic and international financial institutions issued PZU share recommendations. Sell side analysts published 23 recommendations (18 in 2023). Most of the recommendations (96%) issued during this period were positive or neutral.

In 1H2024, PZU’s stock prices were close to analysts’ expectations, while 2H2024 saw significant deviations of up to 30% (average deviation in October 2024). The difference between the target prices in recommendations and the PZU share price in 2024 was 8.9% on average (0.7% in 2023).

Such differences were connected with the observed increased volatility in analysts’ expectations of the PZU Group’s total net result for 2024 (attributable to owners of the parent company). The reasons included the difficult-to-estimate ultimate effects of the flood and its impact on the PZU Group’s profits. This transitional uncertainty was minimized with the publication of the PZU Group’s results for 3Q2024, which significantly improved the market consensus on the net profit. At the end of 2024, analysts’ average expectations about the net profit for 2024 were around PLN 4.9 billion.
