Why It Matters
Talanx is an insurance group based in Hanover. The company is listed in the MDax.
Munich. The insurance group Talanx is raising its expectations for the current year again and is targeting the three billion euro profit mark for the first time in 2027. In 2026, net profit is expected to initially rise to 2.8 billion euros, as Talanx announced on Thursday in Hanover.
Most recently there was talk of “significantly more than 2.7 billion euros”. Analysts on average had already expected 2.83 billion before the increase. The return on equity should reach around 19 percent. This means that Talanx will be able to exceed the mark of 2.5 billion euros in profit, which is actually only targeted for 2027, and the board of directors wants to set new medium-term goals in the spring.
The numbers were well received on the stock market. On Thursday afternoon, the Talanx share listed in the MDax was up a good one percent.
In the first three quarters of 2026, insurance sales rose by four percent, adjusted for currency effects, to 37 billion euros. Group profit climbed by twelve percent to around 2.2 billion euros - more than ever before - and thus met analysts' estimates exactly. The return on equity fell from 21.6 percent to 20.5 percent.
