Swiss Re Aims for USD 4.5 Billion Net Income in 2026 with Strategic Revisions

Swiss Re has set an ambitious target, planning to achieve a net income of USD 4.5 billion by 2026. The strategy emphasizes disciplined execution, unique propositions, and a strong market position. Significant progress has been made in integrating AI into the company's processes, aiming to enhance productivity and decision-making.

All business units are expected to maintain or increase their targets. Notably, Life & Health Reinsurance has nearly completed a strategic portfolio review, impacting fourth-quarter pre-tax earnings by approximately USD 250 million. Furthermore, the company maintains its multi-year IFRS return on equity target above 14%.

Swiss Re plans to introduce a sustainable annual share buyback program starting at USD 500 million in 2026, alongside aiming for annual dividend growth of at least 7% over the next two years.
