Dow Jones

Jan 14, 2025

1829 ET - Mercury General's stock is down about 29% this month due to investors concerns about its exposure to the wildfires around Los Angeles. However, there are a number of factors that should help the insurance company's long-term market position, Raymond James analysts say in a research note. The analysts cite a combination of underlying profitability excluding catastrophe losses coupled with a conservative risk profile and an emerging hard market for residential home owners insurance in California among Mercury General's strengths. The analysts estimate Mercury General's California homeowners business accounted for 18% of Department of Public Works in 2024. (sabela.ojea@wsj.com; @sabelaojeaguix)
