The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- WRB closes above its 50-day average ($71.19), and the 50-day sits above the 200-day ($69.42): on both averages the chart reads as an uptrend.
- At $75.23, WRB is 5.1% below its 1-year high of $79.26, set on November 5, 2026, and 19.7% above its 1-year low of $62.87 (June 1, 2026).
- Over the past month WRB rose 4.4%, from $72.05 to $75.23.
- WRB trades at 15.9x its last twelve months of earnings and 15.5x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 2.6% higher.
- Its P/E is 53.1% above the 10.4x median of the 3 other insurance—property & casualty companies we track (CB, TRV, ALL).
- WRB's 30-day volatility, 23.9% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 1.5%.
- Yahoo Finance puts its beta at 0.22: over five years of monthly returns, WRB moved about 0.22% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
What would change the read
- A close under the 50-day average, $71.19 (−5.4% from the last close), would turn the read to a pullback; under the 200-day, $69.42 (−7.7%), the longer rise is in question.
- A close above $79.26 (+5.4%) would be a new 1-year high; below $62.87 (−16.4%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for WRB, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
- Peers are the other companies Yahoo Finance files under insurance—property & casualty among the assets we track, not a full industry screen; the median counts those with a positive P/E.
