Aviva Surges with Direct Line Gains | Dublin News

Aviva’s first-half results are flying high—operating profit surged 24% to £1.3 billion, fueled by rising premiums and stronger cash flow. The Direct Line acquisition, completed last July for £3.7 billion, is already delivering £100 million in cost savings with more to come. Now serving over 21 million UK customers and 25 million globally, Aviva’s market footprint is expanding fast. Wealth management saw a 32% jump in net flows (£7.6 billion) and 25% growth in assets under management. While health insurance sales dipped slightly and retirement offerings declined, annuities and equity releases are booming. With clear momentum, Aviva is on track to hit long-term targets—including strong ROE by 2028—and proving its strategy is paying off big time.
