Munich Re (ISIN DE0008430026) stock stayed supported after the group reported a 1H 2026 net result of about EUR 2.5 billion and gross premiums written of about EUR 36.0 billion. The latest market snapshot in the same-day coverage put Munich Re among the stronger DAX names after a gain of about 1.1 percent on Xetra on August 28, 2026.

Profit and premiums

According to the ad hoc-news report, the 1H 2026 net result rose from about EUR 2.0 billion a year earlier to about EUR 2.5 billion, a gain of roughly 25 percent. Gross premiums written climbed from close to EUR 34.0 billion in 1H 2025 to about EUR 36.0 billion in 1H 2026, up about 6 percent year on year.

That combination matters more than the dividend alone. Munich Re also confirmed a full-year 2026 net result target of about EUR 5.0 billion, so the first-half result already covered about 50 percent of that goal by the middle of the year.

Guidance stays intact

The same coverage says Munich Re kept its 2026 guidance unchanged after the half-year figures. For investors, the key point is simple: profit growth and premium growth moved in the same direction, while the target for EUR 5.0 billion remained in place.

A first. The market also picked up the share performance, with the stock described as one of the stronger DAX names after the 1.1 percent Xetra move on August 28, 2026.
