Vienna Insurance stock (ISIN AT0000908504) was last at EUR 65.50 on the Vienna Stock Exchange on October 6, 2026, while the insurer carried a market capitalization of EUR 8.33 billion. The key company figure is the first-half result: premiums reached EUR 9.0 billion, and profit before taxes rose 20.7 percent to EUR 641.5 million.

H1 profit sets the operating tone

VIG's investor-relations page says the group published its first-half 2026 results on August 26, 2026, and the figures point to expansion with profitability. According to Quartr, premiums increased 5.4 percent year over year to EUR 9.0 billion, while profit before taxes climbed 20.7 percent to EUR 641.5 million in H1 2026.

The underwriting metric also improved. The P&C net combined ratio was 91.4 percent in H1 2026, while annualized operating return on equity stood at 17.8 percent, giving investors two measures for judging whether premium growth is converting into returns.

Nürnberger deal moves toward completion

The most concrete strategic milestone is the planned squeeze-out at Nürnberger. According to EQS News on September 28, 2026, VIG proposed EUR 120.00 in cash for each remaining Nürnberger share and reported ownership of 99.29 percent.

The transaction still requires an extraordinary general meeting and becomes effective after registration of the transfer resolution. That procedural step matters because the purchase strengthens VIG's German platform, but it also leaves execution and integration as the main deal-related checkpoints.

Target rises above the October price

Analyst expectations provide a separate valuation reference. Simply Wall St reported on September 30, 2026, that the analyst target moved from EUR 69.38 to EUR 71.13. Against the EUR 65.50 October 6 price, EUR 71.13 stands 8.6 percent higher, although the target remains an external estimate rather than company guidance.

Vienna Insurance stock holds the reference level

Vienna Insurance stock was last at EUR 65.50 on the Vienna Stock Exchange on October 6, 2026. The combination of EUR 8.33 billion in market capitalization, 20.7 percent H1 pretax profit growth and the EUR 120.00 Nürnberger cash offer gives the stock a measurable operating and strategic framework.
