  HAMBURG (dpa-AFX Analyst) - Private bank Berenberg has maintained a "buy" rating on Zurich with a price target of CHF 642. At in-house marketing events in Luxembourg and Germany, the two most important questions were whether European insurer stocks could rise further and whether the risks for cyber insurance could be reliably quantified, wrote Michael Huttner in an industry assessment published Wednesday. He answered both questions positively. Among the composite insurers, Allianz and Axa are his favorites. Beazley and the life insurer NN Group from Great Britain are also joining the list following the presentation of their strategic plan for 2025 to 2028. Most investors, however, are more interested in quality companies with sustained earnings and dividend growth – in addition to Allianz and AXA, these include Munich Re, Hannover Re, Generali, and Talanx./gl/ag

  Goldman starts Zurich with 'Neutral' - target 522 francs

  NEW YORK (dpa-AFX Analyst) - US investment bank Goldman Sachs has added Zurich to its rating with a "neutral" rating and a price target of CHF 522. European multi-line insurers like Zurich offer diversified earnings both geographically and by business line, analyst Andrew Baker wrote in an industry report released Wednesday. In an overall economic environment where a decline in key interest rates is expected and 10-year yields remain largely stable, this positioning also offers some downside protection. However, at Zurich, he finds it difficult to find price drivers for a re-rating of the shares. The market is already very optimistic./la/tih

  Barclays raises target for Zurich to 535 francs - 'Overweight'

  LONDON (dpa-AFX Analyst) - British investment bank Barclays has raised its price target for Zurich from 520 to 535 Swiss francs and maintained its rating at "Overweight." "The glass is still half full," analyst Claudia Gaspari said optimistically about the European insurance sector in an industry report released Wednesday. Insurers continued to deliver stable earnings and attractive returns, while the first half of the year so far has been less than exciting, but the overall balance sheet has been positive. Axa and Munich Re were named preferred sector stocks./tih/ajx
