AXA reported record results and announced a €1.25B buyback. The CEO explicitly stated their private credit exposure is "far below competitors." The buyback provides a floor for the stock. Low exposure to private credit removes a key overhang that is plaguing other insurers/financials in the current macro environment. LONG AXA as a defensive financial play with capital return catalysts. Climate/Catastrophe claims exceeding models (though CEO claims balance sheet is insulated).
