Three dated milestones

On March 27, 2026, W&W reported a stronger 2025 result. finanzen.ch lists the earnings release, while a later company analysis put the 2025 IFRS result at EUR 121.0 million.

On August 14, 2026, W&W reported IFRS profit of EUR 105.0 million for the first half of 2026, up from EUR 91.0 million in the prior-year period, according to Versicherungswirtschaft Heute.

What does the dividend plan change?

W&W said on September 17, 2026, that it planned to move from the regulated market to the Scale segment, with the change expected to take effect on October 6, 2026. The company also said its board intended to propose a dividend of EUR 0.75 per eligible share from 2027, up from EUR 0.65, according to EQS News.

The proposed increase is tied to lower regulatory and administrative costs, while W&W also plans to replace IFRS reporting with German Commercial Code accounting. For investors, the key trade-off is a simpler market structure against the lower visibility that can accompany a move away from a regulated segment.
