Aviva Stock Climbs as RBC Reiterates Outperform Rating with 780p Target

Aviva stock has gained on September 7, 2026, after Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) reiterated its outperform rating and set a price target of 780p per share. This represents roughly a 6.9 percent upside from the previous close.

The RBC analysis points to Aviva's diversified earnings mix as a key driver for growth, with the group continuing to trade at a 16 percent discount to UK peers on forward earnings.

Aviva's core franchise centers on its branded life insurance and retirement products in the UK, which package long-term savings, protection, and income solutions. Analysts expect steady operating profit growth and disciplined capital returns to justify a smaller discount over time.
