Talanx reported record earnings for the first nine months on November 12 and raised its profit outlook for 2026 and 2027. The company's quarterly statement said net income attributable to Talanx shareholders rose 12% to EUR 2.195 billion for the period ended September 30.
Talanx stock closed at 133.20 euros on Xetra at 5:35 p.m. CET on Friday, November 13, 0.30% above the Xetra close of Thursday, November 12. The closing move gives investors a market reference as attention shifts from the nine-month result to execution against the upgraded targets.
Higher targets after record earnings
Talanx lifted its 2026 group net income forecast to more than EUR 2.8 billion, after already raising the outlook to clearly more than EUR 2.7 billion at the half-year stage. The company said the new forecast would allow it to meet and exceed its original 2027 target of more than EUR 2.5 billion one year ahead of schedule.
For 2027, management now expects group net income of more than EUR 3.0 billion for the first time. Talanx also expects a return on equity of approximately 19% for 2026. The targets depend on large losses remaining within expectations and on currency and capital markets avoiding major turbulence.
Operating performance supports outlook
Insurance revenue rose 3% in reported currency terms to EUR 36.892 billion, or 4% after currency adjustment. The insurance service result advanced 11% to EUR 4.427 billion, while operating profit increased 13% to EUR 4.640 billion.
The combined ratio improved to 89.0% from 89.8% a year earlier. Talanx said all divisions contributed to profit growth, while higher investment income also supported the result. Primary Insurance increased its share of group net income to 53% from 51%.
Next milestone in March
Talanx plans to announce new medium-term targets with its annual financial statements at the Annual Earnings Media Conference on March 18, 2027. That update should give investors a fuller view of the group's earnings and return-on-equity ambitions.
German equities remain the broader setting for the domestic insurance group. Current market reports provide the wider market context.
