Research

Detailed report · reviewed 2026-10-31 · financial baseline Q3 2026

Peak underwriting, softening prices, and a share price above both anchors

Quality franchise, fully priced. Core ROE is 22% year to date, but underlying underwriting income is flat; the growth came from light catastrophes, reserve releases and investment income, while Business Insurance renewal pricing slowed four quarters running to 4.1% and Personal Auto premiums fell 8%. At USD 396.22 (2.30x adjusted book, 12.7x 2027 consensus EPS) the price is 7.1% above the average of the S&P Global consensus target (376.54) and our base case (363.6); Morningstar pending. Scenario values today USD 204 bust, 364 base, 534 boom. Executives sold about USD 69M in October with no insider buys in 2026. Next hard test: Q4 2026 report, expected late January 2027.
