Suncorp flags 40% profit hike

February 9, 2010
Suncorp-Metway Limited (SUN) said it expected to report a post-tax profit of between $355 million and $375 million when it reports half-year results on 24 February.

The result would be around 40% higher than the previous half-year profit of $259 million.

Suncorp-Metway said the improved result was due to “
strong contribution from the General Insurance business which has benefited from more favourable weather conditions and enhanced returns from the investment portfolios.”

At the close Tuesday, Suncorp shares were $8.94 each.
