CFO Dr. Jan Wicke - 6M 2026: Talanx generates record first-half earnings and expects to exceed previous full-year forecast
"After the first six months of 2026, I am particularly delighted that we have not just achieved record Group net income overall, but that all divisions contributed record earnings figures - our diversification and cost leadership strategy is paying off", said Jan Wicke, CFO of Talanx.
Talanx increased its insurance revenue currency adjusted by 3 percent to EUR 36.0 billion. The Group result rose by 23 percent to EUR 1,964 (1,592) million. The growth in profit was driven primarily by a strong operating business performance and a positive claims experience. The return on equity was 23.4 (20.3) percent.
Based on this, Talanx Group is lifting its full-year forecast of roughly EUR 2.3 billion - which it already raised after the first half of the year - to more than EUR 2.4 billion. In addition, this positive business performance makes the Group confident of generating Group net income of approximately EUR 2.7 billion in 2026, and hence of reaching and exceeding this earnings target for 2027 a year earlier than originally planned.
