Allianz SE (DE0008404005) stock was quoted at EUR438.20 on Tradegate on August 19, 2026, just 1.3 percent below the EUR443.80 52-week high from August 6, 2026. The insurer also posted a record EUR4.9 billion operating result in the second quarter of 2026 and confirmed full-year operating profit guidance of EUR17.4 billion plus or minus EUR1 billion.
Price holds near peak
The latest price snapshot shows Allianz at EUR437.30 in real-time derived trading on August 20, 2026, after a move of minus 0.16 percent on the session. Another market readout put the shares at EUR438.20 on August 19, 2026, so the stock has stayed clustered in a tight EUR437 to EUR443 band over recent sessions.
That range matters because the quoted EUR438.20 level sat only 0.81 percent lower on the day and still close to the 52-week top of EUR443.80. The most recent daily volume in the history data was 134.88K on August 20, 2026, while the prior session reached 489.63K shares on August 19, 2026.
Q2 sets the tone
The same recent earnings analysis says Allianz delivered a record EUR4.9 billion operating result in the second quarter of 2026. It also says the group reaffirmed guidance for EUR17.4 billion plus or minus EUR1 billion in full-year operating profit, a range that keeps the market anchored to a high-earnings scenario for 2026.
That guidance compares with the second-quarter figure in a concrete way: one quarter already delivered more than a quarter of the midpoint target. The market has responded by keeping the shares near their peak instead of pricing in a faster reset.
Analyst view stays firm
A recent research summary says the consensus price target remains at EUR430, while estimate changes have focused on the sales outlook rather than profitability. The current market price above that level shows that the shares are trading through the consensus target rather than below it.
For investors, the key comparison is simple: EUR438.20 versus EUR430 on the target side, and EUR4.9 billion versus a EUR17.4 billion full-year operating profit guide on the earnings side. That combination leaves valuation tied closely to whether Allianz can keep translating a strong quarter into a steady year.
Insurance engine
Allianz remains centered on property and casualty insurance, life and health insurance, and asset management. The recent earnings analysis links the Q2 result to contributions from those three pillars, which helps explain why the earnings profile has stayed resilient while the share price tested its highs.
One representative product line is the group's global insurance and investment solutions for retail and affluent customers, which combine protection with long-term savings components. That mix gives Allianz recurring premiums and fee income while tying the product set to both risk coverage and capital markets exposure.
