• 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "RenaissanceRe’s strength lies in its inorganic growth initiatives and efficient capital management strategies. A modest financial position has paved the way for those capital deployment activities that include share buy back programs and dividend payments at regular intervals. Moreover, over last one year , the shares have gained 22% compared with 16% increase of the Zacks categorized Property & Casualty Insurance industry. However, the company’s exposure to pricing pressures over the past few quarters due to a challenging reinsurance market has been affecting top-line growth. Also, the company's weak investment portfolio raises caution. As a property & casualty insurer, it remains exposed to catastrophe losses. The company has scheduled to report its second quarter earnings results after the market closes on Jul 25, 2017." (7/14/2017)
