Munich Re Could Raise Guidance if Hurricane Season is Benign

Dow Jones07-24 20:47

1247 GMT - Munich Re could raise 2026 guidance at its third-quarter results if large losses remain benign through the hurricane season, RBC Capital Markets' Ben Cohen and Sarah Chong say in a research note. In an unscheduled update, the German reinsurer said net profit for the second quarter would beat consensus estimates by 23%, driven by low large losses in property-and-casualty reinsurance and a strong investment result. This means Munich Re made 3.9 billion euros in first-half net profit and is tracking ahead of its target of 6.3 billion euros for the full year, RBC says. Shares trade 0.3% lower.
