Munich Re: Analyst warning depresses shares despite annual profit!

Munich Reinsurance Company recently received an analysis from UBS AG that provides new insights into the stock's forecasts and market conditions. In this analysis, Munich Re was rated “Neutral” with a price target of 595 euros. Analyst Will Hardcastle noted that the most recent contract renewals in April were disappointing, especially compared to the round of renewals in January. This development could not alleviate investor concerns regarding margin and sales development.

In XETRA trading, the price fell by 3.9 percent and was at 558.20 euros at 9:37 a.m. In trading to date, 104,274 shares have been traded, reflecting the market dynamics for Munich Re. Despite this weak reaction, the share price has risen by an impressive 15.8 percent since the beginning of 2025.

Analytical insights and outlook

Expectations for the next quarterly figures are also high. The first quarter 2025 results are scheduled to be released today, May 13, 2025. Analyst Hardcastle stresses that the current changes are unlikely to be enough to regain investor confidence, leading to tense market sentiment. This could also influence the future price development of Munich Re.

In summary, it can be said that UBS AG takes a critical look at the current situation of Munich Reinsurance Company in its analysis. With a price target of 595 euros, the stock remains in a neutral position, while uncertainty regarding margins and future developments worries investors.
