Three milestones shape the stock

The chronology is clear. On September 29, 2026, finanzen.at reported that Jefferies raised its target from EUR 28.50 to EUR 38.00 while cutting its rating from Buy to Hold. On October 2, 2026, Berenberg maintained a EUR 73.00 target and Buy rating, according to finanzen.ch. The October 8 authorization above 10 percent is the latest dated milestone.

First-half figures support the case

Generali reported gross written premiums of EUR 53.4 billion for the first half of 2026, an increase of 5.80 percent. Operating result rose 11.20 percent to EUR 4.5 billion, while adjusted net income increased 13.70 percent to EUR 2.5 billion.

What does the EUR 73 target imply?

Based on the EUR 41.35 Lang & Schwarz price on October 9, 2026, Berenberg's EUR 73.00 target lies 76.54 percent above the price. The gap is wide because the target belongs to the October 2, 2026 analyst note, while the market quote is intraday.

November brings two company dates

Generali lists November 12, 2026 for board approval of financial information at September 30, 2026, followed by the results release on November 13, 2026, according to Generali. Those dates will provide the next operating update after the first-half figures.
