what happened
Specialty insurer AXIS Capital Holdings is due to report third-quarter earnings after market hours on Wednesday, according to StockStory.
Last quarter the company posted revenue of $1.71 billion, up 7.3% year on year, but fell short of analysts' expectations for revenue, net premiums earned and earnings per share. The market now expects revenue growth of 6.7%, compared with 4.1% in the same quarter a year ago. Analysts have mostly kept their estimates unchanged over the past 30 days. The company has missed Wall Street revenue forecasts several times over the last two years.
Peers have been mixed: RLI grew revenue 5.3% and Travelers was flat, both beating estimates. RLI shares rose 2.5% after its report, while Travelers shares were unchanged. The average analyst price target for AXS is $119.55, against a current price of $102.50.
why it matters
For markets this is a mid-level earnings event for the insurance sector. Premium growth and earnings per share will matter most, since the company already came in below forecasts last quarter. The results also offer a read on how insurers are performing overall.
