Axis Capital (AXS) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Axis Capital Holdings has demonstrated significant improvement in return on equity (ROE), achieving mid-teen levels, and has experienced a favorable re-rating of its shares as the company has de-risked its balance sheet amid a rising interest rate environment. In 2024, the unit reported high-single-digit gross written premium (GWP) growth, reversing a trend of two consecutive years of declines as the company strategically repositioned its business. The company is well-positioned to navigate an anticipated softening cycle, with potential for further premium growth and enhanced underwriting margins should market conditions re-harden.
Bears say
Axis Capital Holdings Ltd faces a negative outlook primarily due to a significant decrease in single zone probable maximum losses (PMLs), which have fallen from nearly $1.5 billion in a 1-in-250 year scenario to $200 million, indicating a diminished ability to absorb catastrophic losses. Additionally, the company anticipates a slowdown in earnings growth in 2026 and 2027, linked to flattening investment yields and limited asset growth as capital returns are prioritized. Further concerns arise from expectations of declining gross written premiums in the reinsurance segment, especially in casualty and professional liability, coupled with an unfavorable comparison from a mild hurricane season in 2025 impacting underwriting margins in 2026.
