Insurance (diversified)

Article Abstract:

Insurance stocks are not expected to perform as well in 1996 as they did in 1995, since earnings are not likely to be sustained. Acquisitions, spinoffs, mergers, and restructurings are continuing, although not at banking's pace. Advances in top and bottom lines will be unusual for property and casualty companies in 1996 under current market conditions. Profit margins have been shored up with lower reserves and a better cost situation.

Insurance (diversified)

Article Abstract:

Insurance stocks have performed well in the 2nd qtr of 1995 and have become one of Value Line's timely industries. These stocks are expected to retain their value, due to good earnings, the bond market rally, and decreasing environmental liability concerns. Investors should seek companies with good underwriting practices and reserve ratios. Higher yielding stocks may have balance sheet and dividend cut concerns in the future.

Insurance (diversified)

Article Abstract:

Diversified insurance companies benefited from strong investment returns, property/casualty premium increases and claims cost control in life/health segments. Changes in federal Superfund regulation will address many of the insurance industry's major liability concerns. Concern over health care reform has eased in the wake of Congressional failure to pass any substantial reform legislation.
