Most Popular Narrative: 9.5% Undervalued

Against a last close of €527.80, the most followed narrative sees fair value closer to €582.96, framing Munich Re as modestly undervalued on its long term cash generation.

Leveraging a robust capital position, Munich Re is continuing to grow less volatile and fee driven business segments (e.g., Life & Health, specialty insurance), making group earnings more predictable and less dependent on cyclical P&C reinsurance supporting future growth in group net income and sustained shareholder returns through higher dividends and buybacks.

Curious what kind of revenue path and profit margins sit behind that confidence, and how low the assumed future P/E goes to justify it all? The full narrative lays out a tight set of growth, margin and share count assumptions that connect today’s price to that higher fair value.

The narrative applies a discount rate of 4.93% to its cash flow outlook and arrives at a fair value of €582.96, compared with the current share price of €527.80. It ties this to expectations for steady revenue expansion, slightly softer profit margins, and a future earnings multiple that sits below some broader insurance benchmarks.

Result: Fair Value of $582.96 (UNDERVALUED)
