After a stonking set of results, can the Aviva share price continue to power higher?
After years in the doldrums, long-standing shareholders of Aviva (LSE: AV.) finally have something to shout home about, with the share price up 41% in 2025. The transformation over the past few years into a lean, capital-light business has undoubtedly taken the market by surprise. Now that it's finally got rid of the label of being a 'boring' stock, can the growth story continue? Evolving business model At the heart of Aviva's transformation has been a shift toward a capital-light business model. Less than three years ago, over half of all profits were generated from the more capital intensive business units of Retirement and Heritage. Today, the mix is totally different with General Insurance accounting for half of all profits. But the business isn't ending there. By the end of next year, it expects that over 70% of all profits will be generated from the capital-light insurance, wealth, and protection businesses. Driving this optimistic forecast is the Direct Line acquisition, which completed last month. Direct Line Following the buy-out of personal lines insurance competitor Direct Line, the business now boasts greater than 21m UK customers on its books. To put that in perspective, only Lloyds Banking Group is larger. Today, 40% of the adult UK population has a policy of some sort with them. One of the most important aspects for any insurer looking to grow its book is to find innovative way of reaching more customers. Acquiring Direct Line will boost its presence across retail channels (e.g., through price comparison websites) as well as strengthen its position in lower-cost segments. As it deepens its relationships with customers, I foresee a virtuous cycle ensuing. To provide but one example, clear synergies exist between the newly acquired Green Flag brand, Direct Line's Auto Services, and its own in-house car repair service, Solent. Risks One of the key factors that has boosted profits for Aviva over the past few years has been sky-rocketing insurance premiums. However, clear evidence is emerging that this trend is now going into reverse. The latest monthly national general insurance price index shows that motor insurance premiums across the industry have now fallen for seven months in a row. Premiums are now on average 6% lower than at the start of the year. Now, these figures must be treated with caution because they only include data from price comparison websites. Aviva sells a number of policies direct and through intermediation channels too. Another risk I foresee is potential challenges from the integration of Direct Line into its core business. The business foresees cost efficiencies of £125m over the next three years. However, there is no guarantee that these will emerge. Amalgamating two large businesses together is a lot harder than it looks on paper. Many mergers and acquisitions in the past have failed to deliver on expected cost savings. Nevertheless, I think there is an awful lot to like about Aviva. It operates in many high-growth markets including pensions, advice, and investments. With a growing customer base, the opportunities are clearly there. And the icing on the cake is a forward dividend yield of 5.8%. I have been accumulating the stock for years, and after an excellent set of results, expect to buy more soon.

Millions of drivers are 'two weeks away' from big change to cars in England
Number plate changes launching soon could impact millions. Drivers are just two weeks away from seeing new number plates on the road, which could lead to an explosion in the number of new electric cars. On September 1, 2025, new "75" number plate identifiers will be rolled out, denoting the most recently released cars. Newer vehicles with a "75" identification tag can command a higher price, given the lower mileage. This tradition of introducing the new number plate tag twice a year has been in place since 2001, falling in March and September every year. This March saw 25 plates launched. READ MORE: Drivers resting arm on open window could be fined £5,000 in UK crackdown READ MORE: Six items all UK drivers must remove from cars before Monday night READ MORE Warning for anyone banking with Santander from Monday onwards AutoTrader advises : "All standard number plates follow the same system. If we take the plate MA70 TDR as an example, we can show you how it works." The site explains how the first two letters are the 'local memory tag', which is where the vehicle was registered. For example, LA to LY cover London, and MA – MY covers Manchester and Merseyside. The next two digits are numbers known as the 'age identifier', it adds. These are changed every six months, in March and September. The March number is usually the same as the year, and September is the year plus 50. So, if you go back through the years, '17' was introduced in March 2017 and '67' in September 2017, '18' in March 2018 and '68' in September 2018, '19' in March 2019 and '69' in September 2019 and '20' in March 2020 and '70' in September 2020. Auto Trader cites '21' in March 2021 and '71' in September 2021 as being other examples, before '22' in March 2022 and '72' in September 2022 and then '23' in March 2023 and '73' in September 2023. It means a car with a '24' plate will be registered between March and the end of August in 2024, while a car with a '74' plate will be registered between September 2024 and the end of February 2025. The last three letters are randomly chosen, they add.
