Wells Fargo & Company, Marsh & McLennan Companies, and Progressive are the three Insurance stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Insurance stocks are shares of companies that underwrite and sell insurance policies (life, health, property & casualty and reinsurance) and generate revenue from premiums plus investment income on the reserves they hold. For investors, they are often seen as relatively defensive, income-producing equities with steady cash flows and dividends, but they carry unique risks such as underwriting losses, catastrophe exposure, interest-rate sensitivity and heavy regulation. Performance is driven by claims trends, pricing cycles and returns on the insurers’ investment portfolios. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Insurance stocks within the last several days.
