According to Verisk (VRSK) and the American Property Casualty Insurance Association, Private U.S. property and casualty insurers saw a $5.60 billion net underwriting loss in the first nine months of 2021 due to rising non-catastrophic losses and high insured catastrophe-related losses. However, the industry saw a 19.6% year-over-year increase in net income after taxes of $42.10 billion in nine months of 2021, owing to premium growth, investment gains, and ongoing economic recovery. According to a Mordor Intelligence report, the U.S. property and casualty insurance market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6% by 2025. Therefore, both TRV and CINF should benefit.
