EU poised to significantly bolster efforts against impoverishment
Allianz, the global insurance giant (WKN: 840400), is currently trading amidst a sell-off, but fundamental reasons for this downturn appear scarce. Despite the grim chart picture, several factors are supporting the company's three-year plan for 2025 to 2027 and potentially offering an attractive investment opportunity.
One of the key earnings drivers is the growth in the life insurance business, which is exceeding expectations. This growth is underpinned by more efficient capital allocation at the country level for Allianz. Improvements in the combined ratio in the non-life segment are another earnings driver, unlocking sustainable margin potential for the company.
The opportunity to add an excellent global player like Allianz to one's portfolio at an attractive level may present itself after a technical stabilization. Berenberg, a private bank, has reaffirmed its 'buy' recommendation for Allianz's stock and maintains a price target of 431 euros, suggesting an upside potential of approximately 25% based on their target price. The average price target among analysts is around 362 euros, indicating a limited potential of just over 4% over the next 12 months.
Long-term oriented investors remain invested and are not easily shaken. However, newcomers should first wait for a stabilization of the technical situation before considering adding Allianz to their portfolio.

According to Michael Huttner, a key analyst, the three largest earnings drivers of Allianz are stronger than previously assumed. The three largest wage carriers of the insurance company Allianz, identified by Huttner as additional income factors for the insurer, are clients, shareholders, and employees.
Many analysts are waving off Allianz's stock, but Berenberg is betting on strong earnings drivers. Technically, there is much to suggest a test of the 200-day line, which would also bring the stop-loss at 335.00 euros into play. However, the chart picture of Allianz's stock remains grim despite a small recovery on Thursday.
It's worth noting that the publisher Boerse-Medien AG's management and majority shareholder, Mr. Bernd Förtsch, has direct and indirect positions in Allianz. This potential conflict of interest should be considered by investors when making investment decisions.
In conclusion, despite the current sell-off, Allianz's strong earnings drivers and potential upside make it an interesting investment opportunity. However, investors are advised to exercise caution and wait for a technical stabilization before considering adding Allianz to their portfolio.
