Talanx stock gets higher 2026 outlook after record nine-month profit

Talanx raised its earnings outlook on Thursday, November 12, after reporting record profit for the first nine months of 2026. The insurer now expects group net income of more than EUR 2.8 billion for the full year and is targeting more than EUR 3.0 billion in 2027, according to the Talanx corporate release.

Record earnings strengthen guidance

Net income attributable to Talanx shareholders rose 12 percent year on year to EUR 2.195 billion in the nine months ended September 30, compared with EUR 1.964 billion a year earlier. The group said profit growth came from all divisions, supported by a strong insurance service result and higher net investment income.

Insurance revenue increased 3 percent in euros to EUR 36.982 billion, while the insurance service result advanced 11 percent to EUR 4.427 billion. Operating profit rose 13 percent to EUR 4.640 billion. The combined ratio improved to 89.0 percent from 89.8 percent in the comparable period.

Higher target set for 2027

The new 2026 forecast follows an earlier increase to clearly more than EUR 2.7 billion after the first half. Talanx said the latest outlook would allow it to meet and exceed its original 2027 target of more than EUR 2.5 billion one year ahead of schedule. Return on equity for 2026 is expected to be approximately 19 percent.

Management's new 2027 target assumes that large losses remain within expectations and that currency and capital markets avoid major turbulence. Talanx plans to present new medium-term targets when it publishes its annual financial statements on March 18, 2027.
