Jefferies trims its target

According to MarketScreener on September 9, 2026, Jefferies lowered the target to EUR 325 from EUR 360 and left the rating at Buy. The note pointed to a low valuation and a high reserve buffer, which keeps the stock in valuation focus.

finanzen.net listed two fresh broker calls on Hannover Rueck on September 8 and September 9, 2026, including Berenberg's Buy view and Jefferies' renewed Buy stance. The same flow puts analyst sentiment back into the picture after the share's 2.44 percent drop on September 8, 2026.

Quarterly figures still matter

finanzen.net said on September 9, 2026 that Hannover Rueck presented numbers for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. In that update, earnings per share came in at EUR 5.77, down from EUR 6.91 a year earlier, while revenue rose 3.49 percent to EUR 7.16 billion from EUR 6.92 billion.

That mix matters for investors because the company is still growing sales while earnings per share slipped year on year. The quoted report period, June 30, 2026, keeps the figure current under the latest reporting window.
