“The Italian insurer presented its new 2024 plan on Wednesday. It offered shareholders a bit of everything. The group forecast annual earnings per share would rise 6 to 8 per cent. It promised dividends totalling almost €6bn. A €500m buyback will be the first in 15 years. … Investment metrics point to Donnet having done a decent job… Independent shareholders should support him.”
