$100 Invested In Arthur J. Gallagher 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Looking into the current session, Arthur J. Gallagher Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AJG#NYSE">AJG</a>) shares are trading at $282.97, after a 0.52% decrease. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 8.66%, but over the past year, it actually went up by 25.75%. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio.

<h3>Comparing Arthur J. Gallagher P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 40.01 in the Insurance industry, Arthur J. Gallagher Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 54.29. Shareholders might be inclined to think that Arthur J. Gallagher Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735677010_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

What Happened: According to the Bank of America&#8217;s Global Fund Manager Survey, as reported <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/investors-allocation-to-us-stocks-hits-record-high-amid-super-bullish-sentiment-bofa-survey-164349535.html">by</a> Yahoo Finance, investors&#8217; allocation to banks increased by 23% points in December compared to the previous month.

What Are The Analysts Saying
Mario Georgiou, executive director, head of investments at InCred Global Wealth U.K., in an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42158682/donald-trumps-win-positive-for-financials-energy-sector-as-pro-growth-effects-will-outweigh-inflationary-pressures-says-analyst">exclusive conversation with Benzinga</a>, described tax cuts and deregulation as tailwinds to the markets. He considers inflationary policies such as tariffs and immigration impacts as headwinds, leading to a steepening yield curve, and higher term premiums.
"Financials offer an attractive risk-reward and that this recent post-election rally has room to run," added Georgiou. According to him "Financials are not only well positioned to capture the benefits of the above-mentioned Trump tailwinds, but are also less impacted / would even benefit from the Trump headwinds."
Bank of America's global economics team recently summarized the sentiment, stating, "Pro-growth policies like deregulation of financial services and energy, as well as lower taxes, are boosting market sentiment and asset prices."
According to Goldman Sachs analyst Richard Ramsden, large-cap banks remain optimistic about the economy. &#8220;Healthy consumer spending trends and strong corporate balance sheets have supported a constructive outlook,&#8221; Ramsden said in a recent note.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Arthur J. Gallagher's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>

A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Arthur J. Gallagher's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.96%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

<h3>Arthur J. Gallagher P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Arthur J. Gallagher has a better P/E ratio of 59.59 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 48.21 of the Insurance industry. Ideally, one might believe that Arthur J. Gallagher Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1733157009_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

무슨 일이 (What Happened): 허리케인 헬렌은 목요일 밤 플로리다에 상륙했을 때 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/hurricane">카테고리 4 태풍</a>으로 분류되었다. 이는 시속 100마일 이상의 강풍과 폭우를 동반했다.
금요일에는 이 허리케인은 열대성 폭풍으로 강되었다. AP통신이 <a href="https://apnews.com/live/hurricane-helene-tracker-maps-updates" target="_blank" rel="noopener">보도</a>한 바와 같이, 이 허리케인은 조지아와 사우스캐롤라이나를 향해 북쪽으로 계속 이동했다.
마지막으로 인디펜던트(<a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/hurricane-helene-landfall-florida-tracker-death-toll-b2619842.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Independent</a>)에 따르면 허리케인 헬렌으로 인한 사상자는 총 28명이다.
허리케인 헬렌의 가장 큰 피해를 입은 지역 중에는 플로리다의 빅벤드 지역이 있었다. 이번은 1년여 만에 이 지역을 강타한 세 번째 허리케인이다.
허리케인 헬렌은 2023년 8월의 허리케인 이달리아(Idalia)와 2024년 8월의 허리케인 데비(Debby)로 인한 피해를 합친 것보다 더 많은 피해를 입힐 것으로 예상된다.
론 디샌티스 플로리다 주지사는 금요일에 &#8220;많은 피해를 초래한 두 번의 허리케인보다 더 큰 일이 발생한다는 것은 지역사회에 트라우마라고 생각한다&#8221;고 말했다.
금요일의 폭풍 청소 및 복구 작업에는 폭풍 준비로 인해 이전에 폐쇄된 플로리다의 공항을 개방하려고 하거나 폭풍 전 폐쇄된 다리와 도로를 다시 개방하려고 하는 작업이 포함되었다.
여기에서 폭풍이 전력 중단, 보험 시장, 투자자들이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/09/41053573/hurricane-helene-disrupts-flights-sports-events-disney-operations-affected-regions-stocks-to-watch">주식에 미치는 영향</a>에 대한 업데이트를 제공한다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">전력 중단</h2>
금요일 현재 플로리다, 조지아, 사우스캐롤라이나 등 가장 큰 피해를 입은 지역 전체에 걸쳐 400만 가구 이상이 전력 공급을 중단되었다.
허리케인이 상륙하기 몇 시간 전, 플로리다의 수십만 가구가 전력을 잃었다.
투자자들은 플로리다에서 가장 큰 전력 회사 중 하나인 듀크 에너지(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUK#NYSE">DUK</a>)를 면밀히 모니터링할 것이다.
전력 중단과 폭풍 피해로 인해 발전기 회사인 제네락 홀딩스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GNRC#NYSE">GNRC</a>)의 재무가 폭풍의 영향으로 현재 분기에서 상승할 것으로 예상된다.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">폭풍 피해 및 보험 영향</h2>
마이애미 헤럴드의 <a href="https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/state-politics/article293117729.html">보도</a>에 따르면, 이번 폭풍으로 인한 손실은 플로리다의 보험 시장에 대해 미미할 수 있으며, 2022년의 허리케인 이안(Ian) 및 2018년의 허리케인 마이클(Michael)보다 작을 수 있다.
보험 정보 연구소(Insurance Information Institute)의 대변인 마크 프리들랜더(Mark Friedlander)는 &#8220;이것은 플로리다 보험사들에게 큰 손실이 아닐 것 같다&#8221;고 말했다.
프리들랜더는 허리케인이 이 주의 다른 지역만큼 인구가 많지 않은 플로리다 지역을 강타했기 때문에 이번 사태는 &#8220;관리 가능한 사건&#8221;일 수 있다고 말했다.
아서 J 갤러거(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AJG#NYSE">AJG</a>)의 계열사인 재보험 회사 갤러거 레(Gallagher Re)의 보고서에 따르면 수요일 민간 보험사의 손실은 영향을 받는 여러 주에서 30억 달러에서 60억 달러에 이를 수 있다고 밝혔다.
비교를 위해, 카테고리 5 태풍으로 플로리다에 상륙한 허리케인 마이클은 90억 달러의 손실을 발생시켰다. 허리케인 어마(Irma)는 약 100만 건의 청구와 200억 달러의 손실을 발생시켰다.
버크셔 해서웨이(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>), 올스테이트 코퍼레이션(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALL#NYSE">ALL</a>) 및 트래블러스 컴퍼니(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRV#NYSE">TRV</a>)는 이 허리케인으로 인한 보험 청구의 영향을 받을 수 있는 상장 기업들 중 일부이다.
여파 (The Aftermath): 허리케인 헬렌으로 인한 사망자 수는 여러 주에서 수색 및 구조 임무가 진행됨에 따라 증가할 가능성이 높다. 정전은 며칠 동안 지속될 수 있으며 이 폭풍으로 인한 피해는 기업들과 주민들이 복구하는 데 몇 달에서 몇 년이 걸릴 것이다.
주택 개조 소매업체들인 홈 디포(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>)와 로우스 컴퍼니(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LOW#NYSE">LOW</a>)는 종종 허리케인과 관련된 주식으로, 주택이 피해를 입고 수리 작업이 필요하기 때문이다.
허리케인 시즌이 11월 말까지 계속 진행되는 가운데, 허리케인 헬렌의 영향을 받는 지역은 앞으로 몇 달 안에 더 큰 폭풍이 상륙하지 않기를 바랄 것이다.

버크셔 해서웨이(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)의 보험 운영 부회장인 아지트 자인(Ajit Jain)은 사이버 보험이 요즘 매우 세련된 공간이 되었다고 말했다. 지난 몇 년 동안 사이버 보험은 전 세계적으로 최소 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/02/36987783/scott-mayor-founder-of-endurance-advises-businesses-on-managing-cyber-risk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">100억 달러 규모의 시장</a>이 되었다.
지난 토요일 네브래스카주 오마하에서 열린 버크셔 해서웨이의 연례 주주<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3wLdzddRtI" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">총회</a>에서 자인은 사이버 보험의 수익성도 전체 보험료(프리미엄)의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38630719/warren-buffett-fears-the-ai-genie-thats-part-out-of-the-bottle-but-agrees-it-has-potential-to-do-goo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">약 20%</a>로 상당히 높다고 말했다.
그러나 그는 버크셔가 다음과 같은 이유로 사이버 보험 책임을 고려할 때 매우 신중한 경향이 있다고 말했다:
<ul>
<li>일회성 손실과 사이버 손실에 대한 집계 잠재력을 파악하는 것은 어렵다.</li>
<li>자인에 따르면 일부 클라우드 운영이 중단되면 집계 손실이 엄청날 수 있으며 &#8220;최악의 경우 한도&#8221;를 이해할 수 없다는 점이 우리를 두렵게 한다.</li>
<li>사이버 보험의 손실 비용은 단일 손실뿐만 아니라 시간에 따른 손실까지 이해하기 어렵다.</li>
</ul>
&#8220;우리는 이 분야를 꽤 잘 관리했으며 지난 4-5년 동안 프리미엄 손실의 1달러 중 100센트 중 40센트 이상은 넘지 않았을 것으로 생각한다&#8221;고 자인이 덧붙였다.
그러나 자인은 현재 실제 손실 비용을 완전히 이해할 수 있는 충분한 데이터가 없다고 강조했다.
자인은 "[직원들]이 사이버 보험에 가입하지 못하도록 했다"고 말했다. "사이버 보험 증권을 작성할 때마다 돈을 잃는다."
결과적으로 사이버 보험은 대규모 사업이 될 것으로 예상되지만, 막대한 손실을 초래할 수도 있다.
&#8220;우리의 방법은 현재 우리가 어떤 의미 있는 데이터에 액세스할 때까지 이 분야에서 거리를 둔 상태로 있다&#8221;고 자인이 말했다.
국제통화기금(IMF)의 <a href="https://www.imf.org/en/Blogs/Articles/2024/04/09/rising-cyber-threats-pose-serious-concerns-for-financial-stability">보고서</a>에 따르면 코로나19 이후 사이버 공격은 두 배 이상 급증했다. 많은 회사가 경미한 직접적인 손실을 입었지만 에퀴팩스(Equifax)와 같은 일부 회사는 상당한 피해를 입었다. 예를 들어 에퀴팩스는 1억 5천만 명의 소비자에게 영향을 미친 2017년 주요 데이터 침해 사건 이후 침해 보상과 데이터 보안 전환에 10억 달러 이상을 지출했다.
사이버 보험을 제공하는 주요 미국 상장 기업을 살펴보면 다음과 같다:
