Bulls say / Bears say
Markel Insurance’s underwriting recovery is translating into stronger profits: year-to-date underwriting profit rose 55%, adjusted operating income rose 19%, and the combined ratio improved to 92% from 95%. (Markel Group)
Underlying specialty insurance premium volume grew 9% in the third quarter and 10% year to date, excluding the effects of the reinsurance exit and Hagerty’s move to a fronting arrangement. This points to growth in the continuing underwriting business despite lower reported premium volume. (Markel Group)
Markel’s non-insurance businesses are also contributing growth: Industrial revenue rose 13%, including 10% organic growth, with adjusted operating income up 29%; Financial segment adjusted operating income rose 30%. (Markel Group)
Markel’s executives said US casualty claims were trending up 10% to 12%, while market rates were around 9%. If that gap persists, it could pressure margins, despite the company cutting line sizes and reducing construction-casualty exposure. (Investing.com)
A capacity provider’s bankruptcy led Markel to book a $205.3 million provision for expected credit losses on uncollateralised reinsurance recoverables. The charge highlights counterparty risk in its fronting operations. (StockTitan)
Reported operating income fell to $383 million in the third quarter from $1.01 billion a year earlier, as net investment losses of $281 million replaced gains of $433 million. This illustrates how market swings in its investment portfolio can make reported results volatile. (Markel Group)
