Allianz SE’s shares declined after it reported a somewhat disappointing profit outlook.

The Munich-based insurer — which owns bond manager Pacific Investment Management Co. — targets an operating profit for this year of €17.4 billion, “plus or minus €1 billion,” it said in a statement on Thursday. That compares to €17.4 billion reported for last year.
