RLI (RLI) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
RLI Corp is experiencing growth in its surety segment, bolstered by new agency relationships, increased construction projects, and elevated material costs, which are contributing to the company's positive performance. The excess and surplus (E&S) casualty division reported a 13% increase, driven by a 20% rise in submissions, reflecting an effective strategy to engage more with wholesale distribution, alongside notable rate increases in transportation and commercial auto. These strong metrics highlight RLI's ability to navigate the specialty insurance market efficiently, enhancing its overall financial stability and growth potential.
Bears say
RLI Corp has encountered a significant challenge as evidenced by an 8% decline in surplus lines commercial property premiums in the third quarter, marking the most substantial quarterly drop observed this cycle. Additionally, the company's casualty reserve cushion has reportedly diminished due to increased loss development from the 2021-2022 accident years, indicating potential underlying loss inflation. Together, these factors suggest that RLI's overall growth is being restrained, raising concerns about the company's financial stability and future performance.
