02:20 AM EDT, 10/02/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Fitch Ratings on Thursday affirmed its insurer financial strength and long-term issuer default ratings on Swiss Re (SREN.SW) at AA- and A+, respectively, with stable outlooks. The rating affirmation is backed by the reinsurer's "very strong" profile in the property and casualty and life and health reinsurance sectors, capitalization, geographical diversification, and solid financial performance. Fitch also expects the company to maintain a stable earnings profile in 2026, followed by a modest decline in 2027 due to lower underwriting margins and soft market conditions. It also views its property and casualty reserve adequacy as prudent.
