1148 GMT - Munich Re's third-quarter profit warning implies weak earnings in its life and health reinsurance division and ERGO subsidiary, Jefferies analysts Philip Kett and James Pearse write. The reinsurer said it expects a lower-than-anticipated net income of 900 million euros. That is due to higher-than-average major-loss expenditure from natural catastrophes. Jefferies anticipated earnings higher than 900 million euros even after accounting for high natural catastrophe loses, the analysts say. This means that performance elsewhere across the group are lower than expected, the analysts say. Shares trade down 2.65% at 477.30 euros. Shares are up 27% year to date. (adam.whittaker@wsj.com)
