Wolfpack Research Posts On X "We are short $MCY because we found how many home and landlord polices $MCY had in the zip codes hit by the CA wildfires as of June 2024 due to an obscure 4,000-page rate filing. For example: $MCY insured 385 homes and 31 landlord policies in Pacific Palisades (90272). We estimate $MCY's gross losses from the LA fires will exceed $2b, far more than their $1.3bn in reinsurance."

Why Sage Therapeutics Shares Are Trading Higher By Over 34%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

At least 10 people have been killed in the Los Angeles fires this week, with over 9,000 structures destroyed, according to the latest estimates <a href="https://www.latimes.com/california/live/pacific-palisades-fire-updates-los-angeles">cited</a> by the L.A. Times.
What Happened: Several wildfires broke out on Tuesday and Wednesday in Los Angeles following <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42855962/los-angeles-ventura-counties-brace-for-windstorm-as-bad-as-it-gets-for-fire-weather">a strong windstorm</a>. While officials are slowly containing the blaze, the economic damage amounts to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42922091/spacex-apple-airbnb-and-more-companies-pitch-in-to-support-california-residents-after-wildfires-we-want-to-help">the most devastating</a> in the city&#8217;s history.
The windstorm created a severe fire risk and several fires are still burning on Friday, the Los Angeles Times <a href="https://www.latimes.com/wildfires-map/?fire=palisades">reported</a>.
The blaze that began in Pacific Palisades burned over 20,000 acres of land. As of Friday, it is 8% contained.

Crude Oil Surges 3%; Delta Air Lines Posts Better-Than-Expected Earnings

Mercury General shares are trading lower after the company announced it anticipates wildfire losses in Southern California to surpass $150 million in reinsurance retention levels.

Mercury General Corporation (the "Company," "Mercury" or "We") announced today its preliminary assessment of the impact of the recent wildfires in Southern California.
An extreme wind-driven wildfire event that began on January 7, 2025 has caused widespread damage across parts of Southern California. The wildfires continue to burn, and it will be some time before the Company has an estimate of the total losses caused by this event. Based on information available to date, we expect the losses to exceed our reinsurance retention level of $150 million.
The Company's reinsurance program provides $1,290 million of limits on a per occurrence basis after covered catastrophe losses exceed the Company's retention of $150 million. The Company's reinsurance program also provides coverage for assessments from the California FAIR plan. To the extent that losses are reinsured, the reinsurance program calls for reinstatements of limits to cover future events. If the full $1,290 million limits are used up, then the total reinstatement premium would be $101 million.
