SCOR SE stock (ISIN FR0010411983) ended the Euronext Paris session on September 9, 2026 at EUR 32.10, down 2.01% from the previous close, keeping the shares clearly below their recent 52-week high zone and underperforming a major European insurance benchmark on the same date.

Intesa downgrade adds to recent pressure

According to MarketScreener on September 9, 2026, Intesa Sanpaolo lowered its recommendation on SCOR from a more positive stance to Neutral, a move that came as the stock traded around EUR 32.64 in real-time and was already down 7.16% since the start of the year but still up 11.08% year-to-date.

Per data from Boursorama, SCOR closed at EUR 32.10 on September 9, 2026 after a 2.01% daily decline, with an intraday range between EUR 32.00 and EUR 32.66 and trading volume broadly in line with recent sessions. The five-day history shows that the stock fell from EUR 34.44 on September 3, 2026 to EUR 32.10 on September 9, 2026, a drop of about 6.8%, illustrating how the downgrade and broader market caution have coincided with a clear short-term retreat.

Latest fundamentals frame the valuation

SCOR is valued as an insurance-reinsurance specialist, and recent consensus figures provide context for the current price. As of September 9, 2026, forecasts compiled by Boursorama indicate an estimated net income per share of EUR 4.12 for fiscal year 2026 versus EUR 4.73 earned in fiscal year 2025, implying an 12.9% expected decline if the forecasts materialize.

On the same estimates table, the price-earnings ratio for SCOR is shown at 8.40 times projected 2026 earnings and 7.31 times the historical 2025 earnings, suggesting the market currently pays a modest single-digit multiple for the reinsurance group based on both forward and trailing profits. For investors comparing yields, the dividend per share is estimated at EUR 2.00 for fiscal year 2026 after EUR 1.90 actually paid for fiscal year 2025, which would represent a 5.3% increase and a projected dividend yield of 5.78% at the current share price level if the payout is confirmed.

These figures highlight a trade-off: expected earnings per share are forecast to be lower in 2026 than in 2025, yet the dividend is projected to grow, meaning SCOR could be returning more cash to shareholders while operating with slightly reduced profit per share. That combination of a relatively low forward P/E and a high single-digit dividend yield may partly explain why analysts such as Intesa Sanpaolo have shifted to a Neutral stance, balancing income appeal against earnings risks.

Market performance and index context

Per an insurance peer overview on Yahoo Finance, SCOR SE under the SCR.PA ticker carried a market capitalization of about EUR 5.83 billion around September 9, 2026, placing the company firmly in the mid-cap segment of the European financials universe. With the same price snapshot showing the stock around EUR 32.62, the market cap estimate aligns closely with the Euronext Paris close reported in other portals.

The five-day price path from EUR 34.44 on September 3, 2026 to EUR 32.10 on September 9, 2026 means SCOR has lagged a broad European equity index that moved only modestly in the same period, reinforcing that the recent retreat was driven more by stock-specific factors such as rating changes and valuation reassessments than by a general market sell-off. For a reinsurance player exposed to interest rates, credit spreads and catastrophe risks, such re-valuations can occur quickly when analysts revisit their assumptions.

In addition, the 52-week metrics cited in recent market tables show SCOR trading several percent below its prior yearly high, leaving room for potential recovery if fundamentals and sector conditions stabilize but also signaling that investors have recently been cautious about pushing the shares back to peak levels.

SCOR stock price level as of the last session

As of the last completed Euronext Paris session on September 9, 2026, SCOR stock closed at EUR 32.10, down 2.01% from the prior day on turnover in line with recent averages, while the shares remained several percent below their 52-week high and the company's market capitalization stood around EUR 5.83 billion based on that price.
