The Fundamentalytics view

Next results ~January 25, 2027 (estimated)

W. R. Berkley Corporation's trailing-twelve-month revenue grew 1.5% year on year, with a free-cash-flow margin of 21.9%.

Current signal Revenue growth decelerating: TTM revenue growth slowed to 1.5% (-2.8pp vs the prior quarter), the 5th consecutive quarterly slowdown.

Assembled from SEC-filed figures — the full workings are on this page and in our methodology. Observations, not recommendations.

Strengths

  • Strong cash generation. 21.9% of revenue turned into free cash flow.
  • Shrinking share count. Diluted shares fell 1.6% in a year, so each share owns more of the business.
  • Net cash. Cash exceeds long-term debt by $2.1bn.
  • Beating expectations. Earnings per share beat the analysts' consensus estimate in each of the last four quarters.

Things to watch

  • Growth easing. The growth rate is 2.8 points lower than a quarter earlier.
  • Below peers: revenue growth. Revenue growth of 1.5% ranks 37 of 48 property & casualty insurance companies we cover (median 8.3%).
  • Earnings expected to fall. The consensus expects earnings per share to fall 2% next year.

Moat

75 /100

Strong moat

    Net income has been a median 3.5% of total assets over 10 years.

  • Durability 8 / 20

    Net margin has been a median 11.4%; its worst year was 4.4%.
