Analysts expect net loss of last year to be reversed
Analysts expect Allianz to produce operating profits of about €6.9bn and net income of about €4.3bn, compared with operating profit of €7.4bn and a net loss of €2.4bn in 2008, the FT reports.
Lower investment returns remain a problem and it is likely to take a cautious view of the prospects for 2010. The company is viewed as one of the best capitalised insurers.
Analysts' consensus is that Allianz will pay out a dividend of about €3.90 per share, compared with €3.50 in 2008 and €5.50 in 2007.
Allianz announces its results on 25 February.
