Versicherung: Talanx wird für Gesamtjahr optimistischer
Der Versicherer geht nach einem guten Halbjahr davon aus, die Jahresprognose noch zu übertreffen. Denn gerade die Schäden fallen geringer aus als erwartet.
München - Talanx, the insurance group based in Hannover, has expressed optimism for the current year due to rising profits and low claims. "We now anticipate exceeding our annual forecast and achieving a group profit of significantly over 2.7 billion euros," said Chief Executive Torsten Leue on Friday. This would increase the company's yearly profit to double digits and surpass sales growth for the second consecutive time.
Typically, Talanx would wait until the third quarter to raise its earnings forecast, explained Finance Chief Jan Wicke. However, the firm had a "remarkable first half-year." As a result, the MDax-indexed shares rose by five percent. In 2025, Talanx reported a net profit of 2.48 billion euros; analysts currently estimate 2.76 billion euros for 2026.
Wicke declined to provide a more precise forecast, emphasizing that they had not predicted 2.8 billion euros. However, a reassessment will be made in the autumn. During the first half of the year, the Hannover-based insurer boosted its net profit by nine percent to 1.5 billion euros. Overall sales, adjusted for currency, grew by three percent to 24.3 billion euros. For the entire year, Talanx expects a profit increase of around five percent.
