IRB Brasil Resseguros (BRIRBRACNOR4) was last at BRL 69.75 on October 15, 2026 at 9:31 p.m. BRT on B3. Tax changes and the next earnings date now frame the stock after El Fondo reported JPMorgan's higher target on October 2, 2026.

Tax reform changes the earnings path

The reform lowers the CSLL rate for local reinsurers from 15 percent to 9 percent starting in 2027 and removes a corporate tax surcharge from 2030. JPMorgan lifted its target from BRL 68.00 to BRL 80.00 while keeping an overweight rating, but it also cut its 2026 net profit estimate by 15 percent to BRL 472 million.

Three dated stock events

On June 30, 2026, IRB's second-quarter business view showed written premiums of BRL 1.15 billion, down 14.10 percent year over year; on September 29, 2026, the tax reform became the central balance-sheet issue; on October 2, 2026, JPMorgan raised its target to BRL 80.00, according to TraderNews and El Fondo.

What does the target change imply?

The target rests on stronger future premium growth, with JPMorgan projecting 6 percent in 2027 and 8 percent in 2028 versus earlier estimates of 1.30 percent and 6 percent. The counterweight is a potential Colombian earthquake claim and the possibility that tax-asset revaluation will weaken reported reserves before lower future tax rates help earnings.

Dates that matter next

IRB is scheduled to publish third-quarter results on November 12, 2026, followed by a conference call on November 13, 2026, according to TraderNews. Those dates should provide the next quantified view of reserves, expenses and the tax adjustment.

Market value and investor context

IRB describes its business as Brazilian reinsurance focused on renewing the country's insurance market, according to its investor-relations page. Its market capitalization was BRL 5.7 billion and its 52-week range was BRL 45.86 to BRL 71.50 as of October 15, 2026.

The last quoted B3 price was BRL 69.75 on October 15, 2026 at 9:31 p.m. BRT. The combination of a higher analyst target and a pending tax-asset review leaves the November report as the next concrete test.
