What the Analysts think about Beazley
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Beazley stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Beazley recorded a pretax profit of $1.42 billion for the year ended December 2024, up 13% year-on-year and beating consensus by 9%, highlighting strong underwriting and investment returns.
The company launched a $500 million share buyback in early 2025, demonstrating robust free cash flow and a clear focus on rewarding shareholders.
Beazley's shares hit an all-time high of 923 pence, rising as much as 3.2% after results, reflecting strong market trust in its risk management approach.
Beazley lowered its annual gross written premium growth outlook to the low-to-mid single digits from mid-single-digit, citing softer demand in cyber and property risk lines.
CEO Adrian Cox warned that increasing pressures from climate change will require more cautious underwriting, which could squeeze future profit margins as catastrophe frequency and severity go up.
Beazley's initial $80 million loss estimate from the early 2025 Los Angeles wildfires, although modest compared to industry estimates up to $20 billion, raises the risk of reserve shortfalls if catastrophic losses intensify.
