Jornal de Negócios3 September 2026 at 17:20

The Gamalife insurer recorded a profit of 27.9 million euros in the first half, representing 50% growth compared to the same period last year. This result comes at a time when the company is on its way to returning to the Novo Banco universe.

The Portuguese operation of the insurer was particularly positive, with results more than doubling. This performance contributed significantly to the company's overall result in the period under analysis.

The return to the Novo Banco universe represents an important milestone for Gamalife, which thus reinforces its position in the Portuguese insurance market. The improvement in financial results accompanies this progressive integration into the banking group.
