Excellent RNS news today Beazley plc announces an update to guidance on undiscounted combined ratio, which has improved from low-80s to mid-70s for 2023.  This is as a result of better than expected claims experience during the year.As well as an ordinary dividend, shareholders will receive an additional capital return in respect of 2023.  This is expected to be around $300m.The company will announce its year end results on 7 March when the quantum and method of additional return will be confirmed.Interesting times! Glad I have been invested over last few years looking good.At 672m shares based on guidance works as a one off 30 to 35p approx return.

Beazley plc posted interims for the HY ended 30th June yesterday. Insurance written premiums increased to $2,921.1m (2022HY: $2,574.3m), profit before tax increased to $366.4m (2022HY: $364.9m), the Group’s undiscounted combined ratio pushed up to 88% (2022HY: 74%), in line with previous guidance. The investment team achieved a strong investment result of $143.9m (30 June 2022: loss of $193.0m) or 3.0% annualised (30 June 2022: loss of 5.0%). Valuation is very attractive with forward PE ratio at 5.5x. Share price lacks near term momentum, other than that BEZ is a solid, growing and profitable insurance company which has made its way into the FTSE100. BUY...

And all of a sudden the c50p walk down of the share price after open until close on the day of the trading statement makes sense - they wall-crossed a bunch of people immediately afterwards and word started leaking out and trading took place would be my guess.

Will the FCA investigate? Will they hell...

Beazley plc issued a trading statement for the 9 months ended 30th September this morning. Gross premiums written increased by 22% to $3,980m, premium rates on renewal business increased by 17%. The initial Hurricane Ian loss estimate is for a hit of $120m net of reinsurance, the Group has experienced mark-to-market investment loss of $289m or 3.6% year to date due to unfavourable market conditions. But the Group is profitable, combined ratio guidance remains for the high 80s in FY22. Valuation is also relatively attractive, the balance sheet is strong, the share price is trending and has positive momentum. BUY....

Questor Tip from Russ mould!

Buy this stock that's raised its prices by 18pc
Questor share tip: Beazley still appears to be undervalued despite a 15pc gain since our first look in May

If analysts are in the right sort of area there, the shares could look cheap indeed and Beazley could still prove to be a bargain. Keep buying.

Questor says: buy

Encouraging statement, market is thankfully looking through the shocking investment return as a mark to market phenomenon. Let’s all be grateful the specialist market is less impacted by the issues that have tanked ADM and DLG recently…

Quite surprised they have not come out with any clarifying statements. As Medieval mentioned if not material then may not be required to, but I cant see any rational reason why they would not release a statement anyway. A simple one roughly stating their exposure, as countless other companies have done, would alleviate many concerns.

I like beazley as a company and have made some decent money trading it over the last few years and although the price may seem cheap at first glance it feels like buying now is almost like buying blind..

Material events would have to be reported. None have been reported. If they are liable then that is what the float is for. Rates will harden. Russians will hack further.

Somebody is frightening fickle investors me thinks.

Added today.
