Gekko Brief
AI summaryNov 4 closeWRB's third-quarter 2026 results showed revenue of $3.74 billion, a 0.8% decline year over year, with net income attributable to common stockholders falling 12.7% to $446 million and diluted EPS of $1.14, down from $1.28 a year earlier. The decline was tied to higher investment losses, including $611 million in after-tax unrealized investment losses, even as underwriting and investment income gained. Separately, the company filed an automatic shelf registration (Form S-3ASR) allowing it to offer common stock, preferred stock and debt securities over time, and a technical scan flagged the stock for a potential breakout with an 8 out of 10 technical rating.
WRB closed at $76.71, up 2.1%, sitting above both its 50-day average of $70.89 and 200-day average of $69.33, with the 50-day above the 200-day. The stock's one-month return stands at 10.1%, its six-month return at 16%, and it trades within range of its 52-week high of $78.96. The GekkoIndex reading of 48.6 places it in the Neutral zone, down from a five-day change of -8.8. Price sits 9.4% above Gekko Fair Value of $70.10.
The next earnings date falls on 25 January 2027, 81 days away and outside a typical 20-trading-day holding window. No insider, Congress or unusual options activity appears in the recent windows. Seasonally, the next 20 trading days have averaged a 2.6% gain over 5 years, though rising in only 2 of those years. Analyst coverage from 14 firms shows 2 buy, 7 hold and 5 sell ratings, with a consensus target of $69.18, implying a -9.8% consensus gap from current price.
