0750 GMT - Aegon's update feels a little messy overall but it won't likely move consensus expectations due to the one-off items, J.P.Morgan says in a note after the Dutch life insurer's first-quarter results. Analysts note the operating capital generation miss, the guidance retieration and the new 200 million-euro buyback, though it remains unclear whether there will be scope for another program this year. "The shares continue to look highly inexpensive to us; however, we are not sure if this update today will help close the valuation gap with peers," analysts write. Shares fall 1.2% to 6.14 euros.
