Hannover Rück (DE0008402215) traded at 252.00 EUR on Tradegate at 4:02:52 pm ET on August 19, 2026, after a 1.64% decline, while the shares still showed a 2.40% gain for 2026 at that point.
The latest market snapshot also places the stock at 252.00 EUR versus a 52-week range that has not been needed to frame the current move, and the implied market value in the quote stream is 35.093 billion EUR.
Guidance still matters
MarketScreener's coverage of Hannover Rück's second-quarter 2026 results says the company kept its 2026 profit guidance firmly within reach, with the target set at at least 2.7 billion EUR in group net income.
That same coverage points to August 12, 2026, and describes the 2Q26 result as solid in a challenging market environment, which keeps earnings execution and pricing discipline at the center of the stock story.
Historically, the quote stream also shows that the shares were down 4.12% for 2026 on the same page, which underlines how quickly the year-to-date picture can shift for a reinsurer.
Peer context
In the same sector, Swiss Re's US-listed line showed a market cap of 49.924 billion USD, a trailing P/E of 10.85, and EPS of 3.89 on Yahoo Finance's quote page, which offers a useful comparison point for Hannover Rück's own valuation discipline.
For investors, the key number is still the 2.7 billion EUR profit floor for 2026, because it sets the bar for what the next set of underwriting and investment results must support.
Product and business
Hannover Rück's core business is reinsurance across property and casualty lines, life and health cover, and specialty risk transfer, which is why premium discipline and claims trends matter more than headline growth alone.
Stock and market value
Hannover Rück stock last changed hands at 252.00 EUR on August 19, 2026, with the same quote stream showing a market value of 35.093 billion EUR and a 2.40% rise for 2026.
That leaves the share price close enough to the mid-250 EUR zone to keep the guidance debate more important than the day-to-day swing.
