04:37 AM EDT, 09/25/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Metzler Capital Markets reiterated its buy rating on Hannover Re (HNR1.F), noting the company's balance sheet strength enables the German reinsurer to withstand potential downward pressure on reinsurance pricing. As part of a Thursday model update report, the research firm also trimmed its price target on the stock to 296 euros from 300 euros to reflect changes to its earnings forecasts for the company, including lifting its cost of equity estimates to 9.3% from 9%. "Our investment case is unchanged: We are confident that Hannover Re's technical results can withstand some pressure on reinsurance prices. In addition, we consider the company's technical reserves, in particular the IBNR reserves (for incurred but not [yet] reported claims), to be pretty comfortable," analysts said.
