SCOR (ENXTPA:SCR) just posted third quarter 2026 net income of €206 million and nine month profit of €603 million, figures backed by a Property & Casualty combined ratio reported as well below target.
The latest Q3 release has come alongside a firm 1-month share price return of 8.95% and a year-to-date share price gain of 22.55%. SCOR’s 1-year total shareholder return of 41.61% points to building momentum that investors are now reassessing against the group’s underwriting performance and legal or market risks.

After a sharp run, SCOR now trades close to analyst targets, while headline earnings for 2026 are slightly lower than last year. Does the current price still leave enough upside for the risk you are taking?
SCOR last closed at €34.56 against a widely followed fair value narrative of €36.02. This points to a modest valuation gap that rests heavily on how underwriting and capital strength translate into future earnings.
The main thing that has to go right is that SCOR continues to deliver strong capital generation and disciplined Life & Health growth, while managing a planned deterioration of about 2 percentage points in the P&C net combined ratio.
The reset and gradual pivot in Life & Health toward protection, longevity and financial solutions, backed by six quarters of results in line with expectations and a described U shaped revenue pattern, sets up a pipeline that can influence future revenue and insurance service results once more contracts are written.
See why 29 investors see SCOR as 4% undervalued.
Result: Fair Value of €36.02 (UNDERVALUED)
Still, the Covéa arbitration over retrocession treaties and any sharper than planned deterioration in the P&C combined ratio could quickly challenge this SCOR valuation story.
