Goldman Sachs Shifts Preferences Among European Reinsurers -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-24

1028 GMT - The best-placed European reinsurers in a post-peak property and casualty reinsurance margin cycle are Hannover Re and Scor, Goldman Sachs says in a research note, initiating both stocks with a buy rating. The brokerage downgrades Munich Re to neutral, aligning it with Swiss Re, as both have seen double-digit stock price increases on a 12-month basis. "We see some selective scope for earnings surprises, but in general we believe that consensus EPS upgrades will be harder to find in this environment, with outperformance instead being driven by relative rerating," the analysts write. They note that rate adequacy--an insurer's ability to charge premiums that reasonably cover the risks being insured--remains strong in a historical context. Germany's Hannover Re and France's Scor both rise by more than 1%. (elena.vardon@wsj.com)
