Dividend expansion outlook as solvency declines after acquisition

Aviva projects a forward dividend yield of 6.73% by the end of 2026, with the dividend per share expected to reach 41.6p. The company's Solvency II ratio is set to decline from 203% to 180% in 2025 due to the Direct Line acquisition and other contributing factors. Management has also expressed confidence in future earnings growth and the potential for continued dividend expansion.

Overbought intraday signals as long-term momentum remains weak

Momentum indicators on the daily chart highlight weakness, with the MACD at 'Strong Sell' and the ADX remaining neutral at a low level, while the RSI signals mild downside at 48.67. Both the Stoch RSI and BBP indicate overbought conditions, suggesting buyer dominance intraday, whereas the CCI is neutral and the Awesome Oscillator provides limited support to the prevailing tone. Trading near the upper end of today’s range, AV is experiencing moderate volatility and upward strength, but oscillators reveal a divergence between short-term overbought signals and persistent longer-term momentum weakness.

Downside risk heightened as bullish breakout faces key resistance

Over the next five trading days, AV is expected to fluctuate within a typical volatility band of GBX 600.00 to GBX 640.00. The probability of additional price gains is low (below 20%), making a short-term downside move more likely. Sideways movement within this corridor is the baseline scenario, with a bullish breakout contingent on a close above the GBX 639.30 resistance. A sustained drop below GBX 600.00 could lead to further weakness, particularly as weekly momentum indicators remain under pressure.

Anton Kharitonov, Traders Union expert, sees Aviva trading in a short-term bullish range but facing clear medium- and long-term resistance. He highlights weak momentum and overbought intraday conditions, with fundamentals under pressure as the Solvency II ratio drops and technical resistance holds near GBX 639.30. The base case is for sideways to slightly lower moves unless buyers reclaim resistance. "Until GBX 639.30 is breached on a closing basis, I remain cautious and expect limited upside for AV."

Earlier, analysts noted that Aviva was facing ongoing bearish technical pressure, with downside risks seen as more likely in the near term. The latest market action and momentum readings reinforce this cautious stance, and with volatility persisting, traders should closely monitor for a decisive move above GBX 639.30 or below GBX 600.00 as signals for the next directional break.
