Allianz stock (ISIN DE0008404005) was trading at EUR 424.80 at Lang & Schwarz on October 14, 2026 at 12:19 p.m. CEST, 0.31 percent above the Xetra close of October 13, 2026 at EUR 423.50. On October 1, 2026, Allianz announced leadership changes at Allianz Partners and Allianz Direct, placing digital insurance execution at the center of the update.

Three milestones since May

On May 7, 2026, Allianz held its annual meeting, while its investor-relations page listed a fiscal 2025 dividend of EUR 17.10 per share, up 11.00 percent from EUR 15.40. On August 7, 2026, Capital.com reported first-half operating profit of EUR 9.4 billion, an 8.60 percent increase from the prior-year period. On October 1, 2026, Allianz announced that Philipp Kroetz would become Allianz Partners CEO and Laurent Floquet would lead Allianz Direct from November 1, 2026.

What does digital growth add?

The appointments connect two businesses with measurable operating scale. Allianz Direct had more than 3.2 million customers across five European markets, while its 2025 total business volume exceeded EUR 1.5 billion at a 95.00 percent combined ratio, according to the Allianz release. The same release said total business volume grew 23.00 percent year over year in 2025. For investors, the changes therefore matter less as a personnel reshuffle than as a test of whether Allianz can keep expanding digital distribution while preserving underwriting discipline.

The next reporting dates

Allianz's investor-relations calendar lists third-quarter and nine-month 2026 results for November 12, 2026, followed by the Inside Allianz Series on December 8, 2026. The results date is the next scheduled company event and will provide the next quantified test for operating profit, claims performance and capital strength.

Price stays near the yearly high

Allianz's market capitalization was EUR 161.6 billion as of October 14, 2026. The EUR 424.80 reference price stood within the EUR 338.80 to EUR 454.60 52-week range, placing it 6.56 percent below the high. That valuation context gives the November results added importance: the stock is priced well above its yearly low, while the latest operating figures still point to growth.
