Promising Insurance Stocks To Research – March 12th

Wells Fargo & Company, KKR & Co. Inc., Marsh & McLennan Companies, Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., and Progressive are the five Insurance stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat’s stock screener tool. Insurance stocks are shares of publicly traded companies that underwrite and sell insurance products (life, health, property & casualty, reinsurance, etc.), so investors gain ownership in firms whose revenue comes from premiums and the investment of those premiums. Their performance is driven by underwriting results, investment returns, interest rates and reserve adequacy, making them often viewed as relatively defensive, income-producing investments but with exposure to catastrophe losses and regulatory risk. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Insurance stocks within the last several days.
