Swiss Re stock remains in focus as a joint analysis by the Swiss Re Institute and the London School of Economics found that links between risks reported by 91 Fortune 100 companies were 24 percent higher in 2026 than in 2019. The study identified artificial intelligence and supply chains as important points of connection. EQS News published the Swiss Re Ltd release on September 25, 2026.
AI and supply-chain risks
The release said the share of companies reporting AI and new-technology risks increased by around 30 percent between 2019 and 2026. It also reported that climate-risk mentions rose by around 31 percent since 2019. The analysis compares 10-K filings from early 2019 and 2026 and measures changes in reported risk perceptions rather than changes in systemic risk itself. The company release said common suppliers, technology platforms and critical infrastructure can create channels through which disruptions spread across sectors.
