Scor Faces Potential Headwinds as Pricing Weighs -- Market Talk
Dow Jones2026/08/18 13:501350 GMT - Scor should trade at a discount to reinsurance peers, with two potential negative events coming soon, UBS analysts say. The French insurer has materially re-rated year to date, UBS says as it cuts its rating on the stock to sell from neutral. It also lowers the price target to 32.50 euros from 34.50 euros. UBS says the Monte Carlo industry conference in September is likely to pressure consensus forecasts, with higher risk-adjusted price declines than expected. Scor's December capital markets day could see excess distributions delayed due to a shift in the solvency target, the analysts add. The stock is down 2.4% at 33.86 euros. (michael.hennessey@wsj.com)
