Insurance (property/casualty)

Article Abstract:

The property and casualty insurance industry had good earnings in 1995. In the 1st qtr of 1996, however, storm losses, charges for asbestos and the environment, and lower premium growth have hurt some companies. Lower costs in commercial casualty and personal lines are benefitting insurers, but 1996 will be uncertain for reinsurance. Profitability will improve in 1996 and there are several good opportunities for investment among these stocks.

Insurance (property/casualty)

Article Abstract:

Financial reports for the 1st qtr of 1995 indicate that the earthquake, in Kobe, Japan, did little harm to property insurers, and the rest of 1995 should remain profitable. Commercial line underwriters are having better premium and ratio gains than those which carry personal lines. Insurance stocks will underperform the market in 1995, but good earnings give defensive protection to investors.

Insurance (property/casualty)

Article Abstract:

Small capitalization stocks within the property/casualty insurance industry are favored in 1996. There are also opportunities in the reinsurance segment of the industry. Revenues and earnings are not rising because of catastrophe and weather-related losses. Favorable reserve development has also decreased. Many insurance companies are restructuring.
