Swiss Reinsurance announced a record profit of $4.8 billion and plans to repurchase $1.5 billion in stocks, causing a 5% increase in share price.

Reinsurance giant Swiss Re's profit reached $4.8 billion in 2025, a 47% increase from the previous year. CEO Andreas Berger called it the company's "highest level" in history. The company attributed its performance to "prudent underwriting, strong investment returns, and lower large claims activity except for the first quarter." The company also announced a $1.5 billion share buyback plan. Its stock price rose 5% shortly after the opening.
