Friday, May 24, 12:22 PM The pressure on reinsurance pricing isn't set to dissipate anytime soon, says Credit Suisse, after talking with 9 of the firms this week. Faring best will be those with higher exposure to Florida (say ACE) - where price pressure will ease somewhat - as opposed to those with more of a national presence (say RNR). Rated Outperform are Aspen (AHL) - with less than 25% of the portfolio exposed to industry headwinds - and Validus (VR) - trading near book despite a more diverse revenue line. Comment! [Financials]

Tuesday, March 26, 8:11 AM Up nicely since Hurricane Sandy, the insurers have further to run, says Credit Suisse's Michael Zaremski, as the industry - realizing it can't make money off the float with interest rates so low - is successfully pushing through premium increases. ACE, TRV, and ALL should all continue to benefit. Comment! [Financials]
Wednesday, January 30, 2:28 PM "My god, why are we doing guidance," said ACE, Ltd.

Thursday, November 1, 2012, 8:02 AM Insurers will be on the hook for higher payouts to customers after the governors of NY, NJ, and CT (so far) rule they must treat Sandy as a tropical storm, rather than a hurricane. Insurance policies in coastal areas typically include a provision for a far higher deductible when damage occurs from a hurricane. 4 Comments [Financials]
Wednesday, October 31, 2012, 5:40 PM Property & casualty insurers could see earnings fall by an average of 26% after Hurricane Sandy, Morgan Stanley says, cutting estimates by more than 40% each for Allstate (ALL), Chubb (CB) and Travelers (TRV); ACE and AIG also could take a hit. The firm's favorite P&C broker is Marsh & McLennan (MMC), which it says offers 15%-plus EPS growth and a ~3% dividend yield at an attractive valuation. 1 Comment [Financials, Quick Ideas]
