Thursday, November 1, 2012, 10:26 AM Hurricane Sandy caused as much as $20B in insured losses and $50B in economic losses, says disaster-modeling firm Eqecat, more than doubling the estimate the company made 2 days ago. 5 Comments [Financials, U.S. Economy]
Tuesday, October 30, 2012, 3:42 AM Hurricane Sandy is still wreaking havoc over the Eastern Seaboard, but that's not stopped insurance experts from estimating how much it will cost. AIG (AIG) CEO Robert Benmosche says, "It will be Irene, plus or minus something," for his company, so a few hundred million. Disaster-research firm Kinetic Analysis and Eqecat estimate total economic damage of around $20B, including $5B-$10B of insured losses. 3 Comments [U.S. Economy, Top Stories]
Monday, October 29, 2012, 3:08 AM With Hurricane Sandy making its way to the Eastern Seaboard, insurers such as Allstate (ALL) are preparing to send their rapid-response teams of claims specialists to assess the damage once the storm passes. The cost to insurers is likely to be less than it would have been in the past, as they've been raising home-insurance rates, tightening underwriting standards, and scaling back sales of policies in hurricane-prone areas. 2 Comments [U.S. Economy, Top Stories]
Sunday, October 28, 2012, 2:38 AM Hurricane Sandy is projected to make landfall by Tuesday morning, after which it could combine with two winter weather systems and create a super "Frankenstorm." Experts warn that the damage could be greater than the $15B worth caused by Hurricane Irene last year. Hardware stores such as Home Depot (HD) are doing a brisk trade as people stock up on essentials, but oil refineries and insurers will probably get hit hard. 3 Comments [U.S. Economy, Top Stories, Energy]
Monday, October 22, 2012, 4:06 PM W.R. Berkely (WRB): Q3 EPS of $0.71 beats by $0.16. Revenue of $1.4B in-line. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Financials]
Wednesday, August 8, 2012, 10:26 AM W.R. Berkley (WRB) declares $0.09/share quarterly dividend, in line with previous. Forward yield 0.97%. For shareholders of record Sep 12. Payable Oct 02. Ex-div date Sep 10. (PR) Comment! [Dividends]
