Three 2026 milestones carry figures

On August 20, 2026, UNIQA reported first-half earnings before tax of EUR 327 million and described a target range of EUR 540 million to EUR 570 million for 2026, according to Yahoo Finance.

On August 20, 2026, management also reported a 16.00 percent return on equity for the first half, while the combined ratio stood at 91.60 percent, according to Yahoo Finance.

On September 23, 2026, UNIQA Asigurari and UNIQA Asigurari de Viata reported EUR 84 million in first-half sales, while gross written premiums rose 8.00 percent year over year, according to UNIQA. The figures cover Romanian subsidiaries rather than the full group, so they provide a regional operating signal instead of a group-wide earnings measure.

What does the guidance imply?

The EUR 327 million first-half result represents 57.37 percent of the lower end of the EUR 570 million target range and 60.56 percent of the EUR 540 million lower target. That leaves the second half responsible for EUR 213 million to EUR 243 million if the company reaches its stated range.

The call also identified catastrophe losses and capital-market performance as factors that could affect the second-half outcome. For investors, the key tension is therefore between the 2026 earnings range and the insurer's caution about weather events and financial markets.

Next report date is November 20

Boersenlotse lists November 20, 2026 as the next reporting date for third-quarter 2026 results. The date gives the market a scheduled checkpoint for testing the EUR 540 million to EUR 570 million full-year guidance.
