Current thesis
The Q1 print kept the medium-term thesis intact: Asia grew strongly, new business CSM rose across insurance segments, and management commentary in the stored earnings context reiterated the 18%+ core ROE goal for 2027 [#PR-EARNINGS-2026-05-15]. If Asia momentum and shareholder returns persist, the market can look through the mixed WAM and Canada noise.
