Despite notable reserve additions, particularly $0.65 billion for US liability, these moves are seen as strategic efforts to enhance the underlying reserve adequacy, which should support long-term stability.\nThe Corporate Solutions (Cor So) segment showed solid results with insurance revenue of $1.961 billion, exceeding consensus by 2.6%. The segment's combined ratio of 87.6% was significantly better than the expected 92.0%, benefiting from favorable premium volume developments and a benign claims environment. This performance underscores the segment's improved operational efficiency and strategic execution.\nIn Life&Health Reinsurance (L&H Re), Swiss Re reported insurance revenue of $3.893 billion, which was 10.0% below expectations. However, the segment’s net income was a standout, reaching $471 million, 15.2% ahead of consensus estimates. \nThis was driven by positive mortality experience in the US, demonstrating the segment's resilience despite the revenue challenges.\nSwiss Re's first-ever IFRS 17 half-year results underscore the company's robust profitability, with a 20.1% ROE for the first half of 2024. \nDespite challenges such as reserve additions and lower-than-expected revenues, the company maintained strong profitability, underpinned by effective underwriting and investment strategies. \n“We suspect most of these additions are indeed buffers which should continue to strengthen SREN's earnings outlook. FY guidance has been maintained, as was the case with peers reflecting conservatism ahead of hurricane season,” said analysts at RBC Capital Markets. \nThe management has reiterated the 2024 target of $3.6 billion in group net income, signaling a stable and optimistic outlook despite potential challenges.\nBoth RBC Capital Markets and Jefferies support the CHF 114.00 price target for Swiss Re, grounded in a thorough valuation model. \nWhile upside potential includes the possibility of capital returns, downside risks are associated with natural catastrophes and the potential impact of prolonged low fixed-income yields on investment returns.\nRelated Articles\nSwiss Re posts strong Q2 results, beats expectations\nMalaysia shines as foreign investors return, peers stumble\nCanada's CN Rail, CPKC shut freight network after impasse over union talks","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.29.2","shortVersion":"4.29.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2461366524"}
