| Case | Probability | October 2027 | October 2028 | October 2029 |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Bull | 19 % | 732.96 (+36 %) | 907.70 (+73 %) | 1112.61 (+116 %) |
| Weighted | 100 % | 579.91 (+8 %) | 616.33 (+20 %) | 677.56 (+36 %) |
What has to go right for Munich Re, and what could go wrong?
The bear row falls to €6,017 million and then €5,483 million as lower renewal prices, ordinary catastrophe losses and adverse casualty reserves pressure results. It recovers to €5,567 million as conditions stabilize. The bull row rises to €7,183 million and then €7,883 million, reaching €8,583 million if disciplined underwriting, manageable claims and profitable diversification deliver together. The 5.5% fall in risk-adjusted renewal prices and 9.1% fall in volume make the downside credible.
How much cash does Munich Re really make?
A bond that yields well may still be dangerous if Munich Re must sell it at a loss after a catastrophe. Currency, maturity, credit quality and liquidity therefore matter as much as investment return. Operating cash inflow was €4,906m in 2025, but premiums can arrive years before claims, so cash generated is not automatically distributable.
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | 2021 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS, diluted | 47.15 | 42.93 | 33.88 | 38.12 | 20.93 |
| − Dividends, per share | 20.14 | 15.10 | 11.64 | 11.06 | 9.80 |
| − Share buybacks, per share | 14.47 | 10.81 | 7.66 | 4.34 | 0.00 |
| = Kept, per share | 12.54 | 17.01 | 14.58 | 22.72 | 11.13 |
What this means. Share buybacks per share is not money paid to each shareholder; it is the company's total spending to repurchase its own shares divided by the number of shares.
What does an investor pay for Munich Re today?
At €557.80 on October 26, 2026, the trailing P/E is 10.4x, while the next-twelve-month P/E is 11.0x. The P/E tells investors how much they pay for each euro of annual profit, but insurance profits can move sharply when claims arrive unevenly. A quiet catastrophe period can make the shares look cheaper just when earnings are unusually strong.
Price to book compares the market value of the shares with shareholder equity. At 2.1x, investors pay €2.10 for each euro of accounting capital. That capital supports promises to policyholders, so Munich Re’s investment portfolio is not simply spare cash for repaying borrowings. Its cash and cash equivalents were €5.819 billion using June 30, 2026 balances, but subtracting cash from one borrowing category would not reveal true surplus capital.
| Today (Oct 26, 2026) | |
|---|---|
| Share price | 557.80 |
| Market value (calculated) | 70,179.31 |
| P/E, last 12 months (calculated) | 10.4x |
| P/E, next 12 months (calculated) | 11.0x |
| Price to book (calculated) | 2.1x |
| Dividend yield (calculated) | 4.3% |
What this means. The next year's price-to-earnings number uses analysts' expected profit, so it is an estimate rather than a known result.
