ADR ratio 1:50 is unusually large and is the single most likely thing to get wrong here (murgy trades near USD 12 against a EUR 518 ordinary share). Munich Re retires repurchased shares, so the issued count steps down: 133,760,287 (31.12.2024) -> 130,645,071 (31.12.2025) -> 126,970,119 (30.04.2026); share capital stays fixed at EUR 587,725,396.48 because the shares are no-par.

Share counts move on a filing cadence, prices move continuously — so this figure is exact only as of the two dates above, and we publish both rather than a single undated number. This company is quoted here through a depositary receipt (MURGY), where one receipt represents 0.02 ordinary shares; the price is put on an ordinary-share basis before it meets the share count.
