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.

Why Zoomcar Shares Are Trading Higher By Over 40%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

Amid the ongoing devastation caused by wildfires in Los Angeles, Warren Buffett&#8216;s Berkshire Hathaway (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>), the nation&#8217;s largest property and casualty insurer, is expected to experience minimal financial impact, while other insurers face significant exposure due to its substantial presence in California&#8217;s homeowners insurance market.
What Happened: Berkshire Hathaway&nbsp;is not a major player in the California homeowners insurance market, hence the impact of the wildfires is expected to be minimal. However, other insurers like&nbsp;Mercury General Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCY#NYSE">MCY</a>),&nbsp;Allstate (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALL#NYSE">ALL</a>),&nbsp;Chubb Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CB#NYSE">CB</a>), and&nbsp;Travelers Companies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRV#NYSE">TRV</a>)&nbsp;could face substantial losses, Barron&#8217;s <a href="https://www.barrons.com/amp/articles/berkshire-hathaway-los-angeles-fire-losses-8e0e5591">reported </a>on Friday.
J.P. Morgan analyst Jimmy Bhullar&nbsp;noted on Thursday that insured losses from the fires might surpass $20 billion, setting a new record for wildfire losses in California. 
Mercury General, heavily reliant on California for its premiums, could be the most vulnerable relative to its size. The company wrote over $700 million in homeowners insurance&nbsp;premiums in the state during&nbsp;the first nine months of&nbsp;2024. Mercury&#8217;s stock fell 6.5% on Wednesday, reflecting investor concerns about its exposure to the fires.
Meanwhile,&nbsp;Berkshire Hathaway could see losses of about $600 million, a minor fraction of its insurance capital. The company might benefit from potential increases in insurance pricing following the fires.
Why It Matters: The ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42899028/la-wildfire-damages-estimated-above-52-billion-california-property-insurance-crisis">caused extensive damage</a>, with estimates suggesting total damages could exceed $52 billion, according to&nbsp;Accuweather. More than 2,000 structures have been damaged or destroyed, with further destruction anticipated as red flag warnings persist.
The fires have ignited concerns among investors regarding the stability of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/42906089/california-wildfires-ignite-concerns-for-insurance-stocks-here-are-some-insurance-etfs-which-could-be-impacted">California-based insurance stocks</a> and ETFs. The Eaton and Palisades fires alone have ravaged over 10,000 structures, leading to 10 confirmed fire-related deaths. As the crisis unfolds, insurers like&nbsp;Allstate&nbsp;and&nbsp;Travelers&nbsp;are under scrutiny, given their significant roles in the California market. The California FAIR Plan, a state-backed insurer of last resort, is also heavily involved in insuring homes in the affected areas.
Price Action: As per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>, on Friday during pre-market hours, Berkshire Hathaway was showing minimal upward movement by 0.022% while Chubb had dropped by 3.60%, Travelers Company was down by 4.85% while Allstate fell by 6.15%.

Park Fire Rundown: The Park fire, the largest wildfire currently burning in the U.S., has ravaged over 426,000 acres in Northern California, particularly within Lassen National Forest, according <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/08/us/park-fire-california.html?partner=slack&amp;smid=sl-share">to</a> the New York Times.
The fire, ignited by an arson attack on July 24 near Chico in Butte County, has destroyed hundreds of homes and structures and was 34% contained as of Wednesday. 
The fire spread rapidly due to hot, dry conditions and dense vegetation. Due to the region&#8217;s rugged terrain, firefighters face difficulties in managing the fire. This fire has become the fourth largest in California history and could surpass the third-largest Mendocino Complex fire.
Experts attribute its intensity to climate change&#8217;s impact on California&#8217;s weather conditions. The hotter, drier climate extended and worsened wildfire seasons.
The fire is in a similar region to the deadly 2018 Camp Fire in Butte County.
Market Implications: California wildfires can negatively affect several companies, including those in the insurance, utilities and logistics industries.
Hanover Insurance Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/THG#NYSE">THG</a>) and Mercury General Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCY#NYSE">MCY</a>) each took hits in the aftermath of the 2018 Camp Fire.
It is unclear what PG&amp;E Corp&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PCG#NYSE">PCG</a>) exposure is to the Park Fire. The utility provider, which supplies electricity to the region, <a href="https://krcrtv.com/news/local/pge-restores-power-to-over-2000-customers-affected-by-the-park-fire">confirmed</a> that it left some customers without power.

Earnings Misses

Mercury General Q2 2024 Adj EPS $1.13 Beats $0.80 Estimate, Sales $1.24B Miss $1.33B Estimate

Investors might want to bet on Mercury General (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mcy#NYSE">MCY</a>), as it has been recently upgraded to a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). This rating change essentially reflects an upward trend in earnings estimates -- one of the most powerful forces impacting stock prices.
The Zacks rating relies solely on a company&#39;s changing earnings picture. It tracks EPS estimates for the current and following years from the sell-side analysts covering the stock through a consensus measure -- the Zacks Consensus Estimate.
The power of a changing earnings picture in determining near-term stock price movements makes the Zacks rating system highly useful for individual investors, since it can be difficult to make decisions based on rating upgrades by Wall Street analysts. These are mostly driven by subjective factors that are hard to see and measure in real time.
As such, the Zacks rating upgrade for Mercury General is essentially a positive comment on its earnings outlook that could have a favorable impact on its stock price.
Most Powerful Force Impacting Stock Prices
The change in a company&#39;s future earnings potential, as reflected in earnings estimate revisions, has proven to be strongly correlated with the near-term price movement of its stock. The influence of institutional investors has a partial contribution to this relationship, as these big professionals use earnings and earnings estimates to calculate the fair value of a company&#39;s shares. An increase or decrease in earnings estimates in their valuation models simply results in higher or lower fair value for a stock, and institutional investors typically buy or sell it. Their transaction of large amounts of shares then leads to price movement for the stock.
For Mercury General, rising earnings estimates and the consequent rating upgrade fundamentally mean an improvement in the company&#39;s underlying business. And investors&#39; appreciation of this improving business trend should push the stock higher.
Harnessing the Power of Earnings Estimate Revisions
As empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock movements, tracking such revisions for making an investment decision could be truly rewarding. Here is where the tried-and-tested Zacks Rank stock-rating system plays an important role, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions.
The Zacks Rank stock-rating system, which uses four factors related to earnings estimates to classify stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive externally-audited track record, with Zacks Rank #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988.
Earnings Estimate Revisions for Mercury General
For the fiscal year ending December 2024, this auto insurance company is expected to earn $3.44 per share, which is a change of 1046.7% from the year-ago reported number.
Analysts have been steadily raising their estimates for Mercury General. Over the past three months, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company has increased 18.6%.
Bottom Line
Unlike the overly optimistic Wall Street analysts whose rating systems tend to be weighted toward favorable recommendations, the Zacks rating system maintains an equal proportion of &#39;buy&#39; and &#39;sell&#39; ratings for its entire universe of more than 4000 stocks at any point in time. Irrespective of market conditions, only the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks get a &#39;Strong Buy&#39; rating and the next 15% get a &#39;Buy&#39; rating. So, the placement of a stock in the top 20% of the Zacks-covered stocks indicates its superior earnings estimate revision feature, making it a solid candidate for producing market-beating returns in the near term.
The upgrade of Mercury General to a Zacks Rank #1 positions it in the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks in terms of estimate revisions, implying that the stock might move higher in the near term.

Prudential Financial, Inc.&#39;s (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pru#NYSE">PRU</a>) shares have rallied 25.9% in a year compared with the industry&#39;s growth of 14.7%. The Finance sector and the Zacks S&amp;P 500 composite have risen 17.4% and 24.1%, respectively, in the same time frame.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
The rally was largely driven by the growing pension risk transfer (PRT) market, higher emerging markets earnings, expanding distribution, product offerings, improved spread income, strategic acquisitions and a solid financial position. 
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2024 and 2025 earnings has moved 0.07% and 0.2% north, respectively, in the past seven days, reflecting analysts&#39; optimism on the stock.
<h3>Will the Bull Run Continue?</h3>
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for PRU&#39;s 2024 earnings per share indicates a year-over-year increase of 15.3% from the consensus estimate of 2023. The consensus estimate for revenues is pegged at $55.57 billion, implying a year-over-year improvement of 9.1% from the consensus mark of 2023. 
The consensus estimate for 2025 earnings per share indicates a year-over-year increase of 8.3% from the consensus estimate of 2024. The consensus estimate for 2025 revenues is pinned at $57.19 billion, implying a year-over-year improvement of 2.9% from the consensus mark of 2024. 
In 2023, Prudential Financial&#39;s return on equity of 16% expanded 120 basis points year over year. This shows the company&#39;s efficiency in managing shareholders&#39; funds. 
This Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) multi-line insurer&#39;s International businesses are expected to gain from higher emerging markets earnings, a favorable impact from annual assumption update and other refinements. It aims at providing high-quality service and expanding distribution and product offerings via a differentiated multi-channel distribution model as well as other businesses. 
The U.S. businesses should continue to gain from a favorable and comparable impact from annual assumption update, higher spread income and more favorable underwriting. 
Prudential Financial has been a leader in the PRT market, helping companies reduce risks related to pension liabilities, such as interest rate risk, earnings volatility and participant longevity. PRU recently announced that it has been selected for a PRT transaction from Verizon Communications Inc. This move bodes well for the insurer&#39;s Retirement Strategies business, whose market is expected to grow over time. 
The multi-line insurer continues to invest in partnerships that enable it to grow in emerging markets. PRU undertakes several strategic initiatives, which poise it well for long-term growth. It continues to invest in the long-term sustainable growth of the business through programmatic acquisitions and partnerships in emerging markets to build scale and complement businesses in support of long-term growth. 
Prudential Financial boasts a sturdy balance sheet strength that includes highly liquid assets of $4.5 billion as of Dec 31, 2023 and a capital position that continues to support an AA financial strength rating. The company continues to balance investments in the growth of businesses with returning capital to shareholders. 
The multi-line insurer has been increasing its dividend for the past 15 years. Its dividend yield of 4.7% compares favorably with the industry&#39;s figure of 2.6%. In the first quarter of 2024, the board also authorized a 4% dividend increase, which represents the 16th consecutive annual dividend increase.
