Swiss Re stock was trading at EUR 149.18 at Lang & Schwarz on September 29, 2026 at 2:43 p.m. CEST, minus 1.58 percent versus the prior close of EUR 151.58. The move came as investors weighed a more cautious reinsurance backdrop against Swiss Re's latest earnings and risk research.

Swiss Re reports USD 1.5 billion

Swiss Re lists net income of USD 1.5 billion for the first quarter of 2026. Its investor page also reports record Group net income of USD 4.8 billion for fiscal year 2025, giving the latest quarterly result a clear earnings context.

The Q1 figure represents 31.25 percent of the 2025 full-year result, although the periods are different and the comparison is directional rather than a year-over-year growth measure. The figures keep profitability central as the market assesses pricing conditions for the remainder of 2026.

Barclays keeps a cautious view

According to MarketScreener on September 4, 2026, Barclays retained its Sell rating and raised its price target from CHF 116 to CHF 123. The target increase was CHF 7, or 6.03 percent, but the rating remained negative.

The contrast is important: the target moved higher while the recommendation stayed at Sell. A separate September 25 study published through FT.com found 24 percent more links between reported risks at 91 Fortune-100 companies than in 2019. Swiss Re Institute's analysis highlights why interconnected exposures matter for commercial risk transfer.

Q3 results are scheduled for November 4

MarketScreener lists November 4, 2026 as the date for Swiss Re's Q3 2026 earnings release. That date gives the next concrete checkpoint for judging whether the USD 1.5 billion Q1 earnings base is carrying into the second half.

Swiss Re stock trades below its yearly high
