SCOR

SCOR reported a net profit of €171m in the second quarter and €397m for the first half. The combined ratio in the P&C segment was 79.5%, reflecting underwriting discipline and low natural catastrophe losses. Morgan Stanley named SCOR a favorite in the European insurance sector due to potential capital release from the expected revision of Solvency II. The stock rose intraday by around 3.5% to 34.58 and reached a 52-week high of 34.8. » Mere på de.investing.com

The reinsurer SCOR reports a 24% decline in net profit for Q2 to €171m and a 5.1% drop in insurance revenue year-on-year. Weaker results came from the life & health and property & casualty segments, although the combined ratio in property & casualty improved to 79.5%. The life and health reinsurance result was weighed down by the adverse outcome of a one‑off arbitration, while the investment result was supported by higher ongoing and reinvestment yields. For H1 SCOR reports a net profit of €397m and expects a continued competitive property & casualty environment, but sees capital generation in line with its 2026 annual guidance. » Mere på de.investing.com
