Munich Re stock heads into Q3 results after profit target hike

Munich Re is heading into Thursday's final third-quarter release after raising its full-year profit outlook. The company announced the preliminary figures and guidance change on October 23 in an official Munich Re release.

Higher guidance meets final test

The reinsurer said its preliminary third-quarter net profit was approximately EUR 1.7 billion. The result exceeded the EUR 1.479 billion consensus compiled from 13 analyst estimates.

Munich Re attributed the performance to strong operating results across all business segments, major losses in property and casualty reinsurance below average expectations, and a strong investment result in reinsurance. The company reported a nine-month net result of EUR 5.7 billion.

Against that backdrop, Munich Re raised its 2026 net profit guidance from EUR 6.3 billion to EUR 6.6 billion. The company also said it intends to continue strengthening its balance sheet where appropriate in the fourth quarter, subject to major-loss developments.

Munich Re stock traded at 570.10 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 17:15 CET on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, 1.06 percent below the Xetra close of Tuesday, November 10.

The final report is scheduled for Thursday, November 12. Investors will be able to compare the confirmed quarterly result with the preliminary figure and assess how the earnings mix supports the raised annual outlook.
