Good numbers at $ADM.L (UK GEICO) benefiting from the improving auto insurance cycle (moderating cost inflation vs stronger premiums + better interest rate environment).
US motor insurance profitable for the first time (if I am not mistaken).
EPS: +35%, ROE: 45%, DPS: 71p (+39%)

PS. Admiral $ADM was Ennismore's #3 position as of Jun-24 month-end, but they bought more in Jul
"As of early July, we have made it our largest position"
This seems motivated by bullish expectations for H1 results ("expect it to add well over 10% to its UK motor policy count") https://t.co/Oytslevj68 tweet
