Sad news... sounds like Jonathan Bloomer was on board Mike Lynch's yacht.....

It's saying competitors have experienced increased claims (environment) whereas Hiscox have not seen this

"This has delivered a strong and increased underwriting result of $241 million, despite a more active loss environment, and positions us well to deliver high-quality growth through the insurance cycle."I don't understand this line. Are there any insurance experts out there who can shed light on the comment for me?

At 6.5 times forward P.E. Still looks cheap

Market rewards it with a 8% fall.

Decent results

Hiscox?
Has he more than one??

Hiscox posted Interims last week. Gross premiums written increased by 9.2% to $2,649.8 million. Premium growth and portfolio adjustments lead to a strong underwriting result of $123.2 million (H1 2021: $99.8 million), up 23.4% on the prior period. The ultimate Group loss from all risks in Ukraine and Russia, including aviation, is $48 million net of reinsurance. The Group remains conservatively reserved with an 11.0% margin above actuarial best estimate and is strongly capitalised with BSCR of 200%. Investment performance was weak due to market conditions with a loss of $214.1m in the HY period. Valuation is average, the share price lacks momentum. HSX is a solid mid-cap insurance name and certainly worth monitoring, but there is no compelling rush to buy....

HSX doesn't seem to have taken the hit that other insurers are taking. Further to fall?

[bulltradept] 03/8/2022 08:21

Thoughts on these results anyone?

hTtps://www.itnews.com.au/news/insurers-run-from-ransomware-cover-as-losses-mount-572963Interesting read

Sentiment looks strongly against the sector currently, look at the LRE share price.
I sold out of BEZ last week but will review on their early November update.
BEZ looks particularly interesting in cyber, IF their recent better claims experience
continues, however no recent BOD buying there.


ec,
thanks again for the info, much appreciated.

[medieval blacksmith] 27/9/2021 14:24

Yes, thanks Effortless. Very helpful. :)

[essentialinvestor] 26/9/2021 13:49

Very useful, thanks for highlighting.

An interesting article in "The Insurer" today, regarding Hiscox's exposure to possible non-payment of COVID loss recoveries by reinsurers.
