what happened
Specialty insurer RLI will publish its third-quarter report after the market closes on Monday, according to StockStory.
Last quarter the company reported revenue of $462.2 million, up 4.9% from a year earlier. Revenue and earnings per share beat analyst expectations, while book value per share came in below forecasts. Analysts expect revenue to rise 4.8% year on year this quarter, compared with 5.3% growth in the same period last year. RLI has missed analysts' revenue estimates several times over the past two years.
Peers have already reported. Travelers posted flat year-on-year revenue, beating estimates by 0.7%, while Progressive grew revenue 3% but fell 0.8% short of forecasts, and its shares dropped 4.1% after the release. RLI shares are up 2.8% over the past month, trading at $61.07, against an average analyst price target of $56.25.
why it matters
For the insurance sector, RLI's report offers a read on whether revenue growth is holding up. The reaction to Progressive's results shows investors are measuring numbers against analyst expectations, not only against last year.
