Insurance (diversified)
Article Abstract:
Lower loss costs, paired with the lack of catastrophe losses, are giving property/casualty companies higher revenues and earnings in 1995. Increased competition and other factors are hurting life and health insurers. Premium growth will be needed to generate profits in 1996, and there may be several mergers and divestments. Several stocks in this industry are timely, and those with predictable, steady growth are the best risks. Company reports on major insurers are included.
