11:00 AM EST, 02/09/2026 (MT Newswires) -- CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

We lower our 12-month target price by $5 to $75. Our revised target price values WRB shares at 16x our 2026 operating EPS estimate of $4.65 and at 15x our 2027 EPS estimate of $5.05, versus WRB's three-year average forward multiple of 14x and a peer average of 14x. WRB posted full-year 2025 operating EPS of $4.33 versus $4.03, which topped our $4.28 estimate and the $4.29 consensus view despite net written premium growth decelerating to 2.1% in Q4 from 9.9% in Q1. We applaud WRB's 6.2% full-year premium growth, which will likely exceed many peers. We view the 7.1% average rate increases as very healthy versus expected industry averages of 3%-4%. At current levels, we view the share as fairly valued versus peer and historical averages, but we expect WRB's decent top-line growth and improved underwriting metrics to support the shares' valuation.
