RBC lifts target to EUR 530.00

RBC analyst Ben Cohen also raised the 2026 earnings forecast for Munich Re, while pointing to pricing pressure in property and casualty reinsurance through 2027. The analyst said stronger investment returns could offset part of that pressure, but cited economic uncertainty and excess capacity as risks.

What does earnings quality show?

Munich Re's second-quarter 2026 net income was EUR 2.214 billion, compared with EUR 1.767 billion consensus, a 25.27 percent difference, according to MarketScreener. Second-quarter revenue was EUR 17.808 billion against EUR 18.131 billion consensus, a 1.78 percent difference. The contrast gives the valuation debate a clear shape: earnings resilience is stronger than top-line growth.

Three recent analyst signals

On October 15, 2026, Zonebourse reported that JPMorgan retained a positive rating and a EUR 590.00 target. On October 16, 2026, the same publisher reported that Jefferies kept a neutral rating and a EUR 550.00 target. On October 20, 2026, RBC raised its target to EUR 530.00 from EUR 500.00, making the latest revision more cautious than JPMorgan's view.

Next reporting date is November 12

MarketScreener lists November 12, 2026 as the next Munich Re earnings release for the third quarter. That report will test whether the second-quarter earnings strength can persist while reinsurance pricing remains under pressure.
