Cyber insurance has become a very fashionable space these days, said Ajit Jain, the vice chairman of insurance operations for Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>). Over the last few years, it has become <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/02/36987783/scott-mayor-founder-of-endurance-advises-businesses-on-managing-cyber-risk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">at least a $10 billion market globally</a>.
Speaking at Berkshire Hathaway&#8217;s annual shareholder <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3wLdzddRtI" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">meeting </a>in Nebraska, Omaha, on Saturday, Jain said that the profitability of cyber insurance is also reasonably <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38630719/warren-buffett-fears-the-ai-genie-thats-part-out-of-the-bottle-but-agrees-it-has-potential-to-do-goo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">high, around 20% of the total premium</a>.
However, he said Berkshire tends to be very careful when considering cyber insurance liabilities because:
<ul>
<li>Knowing the quantum of losses subject to a single occurrence and the aggregation potential for cyber losses is tough.</li>
<li>According to Jain, if some cloud operations come to a standstill, the aggregation losses can be huge, and not being able to understand a &#8220;worst-case cap on it is what scares us.&#8221;</li>
<li>There is a difficulty in understanding the loss cost of cyber insurance — not just for a single loss, but for losses over time.</li>
</ul>
&#8220;We have been fairly well contained, out of 100 cents of the dollar of the premium losses over the last four, five years, I think, have not been beyond 40 cents of the dollar, leaving a decent profit margin,&#8221; Jain added. 
Still, he highlighted that, currently, there isn&#8217;t enough data to fully understand the true loss cost.
&#8220;I have discouraged [staff] from writing cyber insurances,&#8221; Jain said. &#8220;Each time you write a cyber insurance policy, you are losing money.&#8221;
As a result, while cyber insurance is projected to be a huge business, it could be associated with huge losses.
&#8220;Our approach is to sort of stay away from it right now until we can&nbsp;have access to&nbsp;some meaningful data,&#8221; Jain cautioned.
Since the pandemic, cyberattacks have surged twofold, according to a <a href="https://www.imf.org/en/Blogs/Articles/2024/04/09/rising-cyber-threats-pose-serious-concerns-for-financial-stability">report </a>by the International Monetary Fund. While many companies faced minor direct losses, some, like Equifax, endured significant tolls. Equifax, for example, spent over $1 billion on breach compensation and the transformation of its data security following a major 2017 data breach impacting 150 million consumers.

Corporate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38471231/strong-quarterly-earnings-fuel-market-optimism-despite-inflation-concerns-slowing-economic-growt">earnings came to the market&#8217;s rescue in the past week,</a> helping to overcome rate fears. As we look ahead to the unfolding week, it remains to be seen whether the tech earnings deluge can keep the rally&#8217;s momentum going. 
The Week That Was: High-profile Magnificent Seven earnings panned out mostly positively for the market, with Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) the outlier. The social media giant&#8217;s stock fell sharply as traders fretted over the soft second-quarter revenue guidance and the company&#8217;s massive AI investment plans. 
Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) managed to appease the Street despite the double miss as it held out the promise of an expeditious launch of a more affordable EV. 
With the earnings season now halfway through, the percentage of S&amp;P 500 companies reporting positive earnings surprises and the magnitude of earnings surprises were above their 10-year averages, <a href="https://insight.factset.com/sp-500-earnings-season-update-april-26-2024?utm_source=Direct&amp;utm_medium=Email&amp;utm_campaign=FO-04-26-2024&amp;utm_content=httpsinsightfactsetcomsp500earningsseasonupdateapril262024">said </a>FactSet in a report.
The blended first-quarter earnings growth of S&amp;P 500 companies is estimated at 3.5%, up from the 0.6% growth estimated in the week ended April 19, the financial data analytics firm said. If the trend holds, the S&amp;P 500 companies are on track to report earnings growth for the third straight quarter.
Of the 11 S&amp;P sector classes, eight sectors reported year-over-year earnings growth, led by communication services, utilities, IT, and consumer discretionary sectors. On the other hand, healthcare, energy, and materials have reported year-over-year earnings declines.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-tech-stocks">Best Tech Stocks Right Now</a>
Look Ahead: The unfolding week will see 175 S&amp;P 500 companies and 6 Dow 30 components releasing their quarterly scorecards. The earnings roster includes two Magnificent Seven companies, namely Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Amazon, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), e-commerce retailers, payment processors, restaurants, and energy and REIT companies.
Earnings from Apple and Amazon could be market-moving, given the weighting of these stocks in the S&amp;P 500 Index. Also, Apple is considered a bellwether, given its exposure to consumers. Morgan Stanley&#8217;s Erik Woodring expects Apple to report a slightly beat but guide June quarter revenue down. 
Investors are likely to keep a close eye on performance in China, Apple&#8217;s updated capital return framework, and capital expenditures, the analyst said.
That said, the analyst is positive on the stock ahead of its annual Worldwide Developers&#8217; Conference due on June 10th. &#8220;With Apple&#8217;s biggest WWDC event on June 10th, we&#8217;d buy post-earnings weakness,&#8221; he said.
Amazon will likely continue to report double-digit sales and profit growth in the first quarter, according to Telsey Advisory Group analyst Joseph Feldman. The analyst premised his optimism on the strength of online spending, gains from expanded merchandise and faster fulfillment, and stabilization (and growth) of AWS. 
&#8220;Importantly, we expect [a] greater focus on profits supported by the growth of higher margin categories and services, such as advertising, media, and AWS (partly helped by AI-related upgrades), the redesigned distribution network&#8230;.. and cost savings,&#8221; he said.

Why Aon Shares Are Trading Lower By Around 7%? Here Are Other Stocks Moving In Friday's Mid-Day Session

Strong earnings reports from Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) and Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) have restored positive sentiment in the market, sweeping away fears of increasing risks of stagflation that had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/04/38434513/us-growth-slows-in-q1-yet-inflation-acceleration-signals-stagflation-the-worst-poss">emerged from Thursday&#8217;s data.</a>
Although the latest PCE inflation report signaled higher-than-expected annual readings, they failed to meaningfully impact on already low expectations <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/macro-notification/24/04/38458581/feds-key-inflation-indicator-hits-2-8-dashes-rate-cut-hopes-traders-on-alert">for Fed rate cuts.</a> Rather, investors opted to focus on positive signals stemming from corporate earnings.
The S&amp;P 500 gained over 1%, and is up by 2.8% this week, on track for its best week since late October 2023. The Nasdaq 100 outperformed with a 1.8% increase, pushing the weekly performance to over 4%, also eyeing its best week in seven months.
A significant amount of support for the broader market came from the Magnificent Seven, with the group gaining a combined market cap of $400 billion in a day, more than offsetting losses seen on Thursday. The Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#NYSE">MAGS</a>) rallied 3.5%.
Small caps also saw robust gains, with the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>) up 1%. The big underperformer was the energy sector, as its two major oil giants – Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) and Chevron Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) – failed to impress investors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/earnings-misses/24/04/38464570/us-energy-stocks-fall-following-oil-giants-subdued-earnings-reports">with their quarterly results.</a>
Treasury yields were slightly softer, although remained at elevated levels, indicating they had already absorbed the rising inflation narrative over the past weeks. 
Both gold and oil held steady at $2,300 per ounce and $83 a barrel, respectively. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) softened below $64,000, on track for a fourth straight negative week.

Tech Stocks Rebound As Magnificent 7 Roar On Strong Earnings, Energy Giants Tumble: What's Driving Markets Friday?

WIIM

Aon shares are trading lower after the company reported worse-than-expected Q1 financial results.

Tech earnings could come to the market&#8217;s rescue as traders remain jittery about the outcome of key inflation data due on Friday. AI giants&nbsp;Alphabet, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) and&nbsp;Microsoft Corp.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) set a positive tone for tech companies with strong performances&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/04/38445001/alphabet-q1-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-70b-buyback-first-ever-dividend-ai-leadership-and-more" rel="noreferrer noopener">in the first quarter</a>.
However, the focus will likely shift to the annual inflation rate, as measured by the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index (PCE), the Federal Reserve&#8217;s preferred gauge. This data, released as part of the personal income and spending report at 8:30 am ET, could provide a double boost to the market. A reading in line with or below expectations could help break the recent lackluster performance.
The PCE data is particularly important because the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), the Fed&#8217;s policy-setting arm, meets next Wednesday. The futures market currently prices in a 97% chance of the Fed holding rates steady.

Cues From Past Session:
A mixed first-quarter GDP data that showed weaker growth and a rise in an inflation gauge as well as negative reactions to tech earnings sent traders on the defensive on Thursday.

Insights From Analysts:
While conceding that the strength of the bull market has waned, an analyst said he does not see the end of it.
&#8220;The end of prolonged below-average bearish sentiment and above-average bullish sentiment implies investors may be losing some confidence in the strength of this bull market,&#8221; said LPL Financial Chief Technical Strategist Adam Turnquist. Technical evidence also supported this observation, he said, adding that dip-buyers stopped showing up near the S&amp;P 500's 20-day moving average earlier this month, providing a timely signal for a deeper pullback. 
The analyst, however, said the recent shift in sentiment may not mark the end of the bull market. Technically, he sees the 4,800 area on the S&amp;P 500 as a worst-case scenario in the eventuality of a pullback. 
&#8220;Confidence for a relatively limited drawdown is supported by breadth metrics holding up well, cyclical sector leadership, limited signs of panic in credit or volatility gauges, economic resiliency, and the longer-term momentum implications of this rally,&#8221; he said.
Carson Group&#8217;s Ryan Detrick also exuded optimism, albeit for a different reason. He noted that the &#8220;sell in May and go away&#8221; adage does not apply to the presidential election years. The May-October period, which typically is a weaker period for the market, tends to do well during election years, he said.

The Commerce Department is scheduled to release its personal income and spending report for March at 8:30 a.m. EDT. On a month-over-month basis, the metrics may have increased 0.5% and 0.7%, respectively, in March compared to the 0.3% and 0.8% growth in February.
The price consumption expenditure index is expected to rise 0.3% month-over-month and 2.6% year-over-year. This compares to the February rates of 0.3% and 2.5%, respectively. The monthly rate of the core price consumption expenditure index may have remained unchanged at 0.3% and the annual rate may have slowed from 2.8% to 2.7%.
The University of Michigan&#8217;s final consumer sentiment index for April, due at 10 a.m. EDT, is expected to show the reading remained almost unchanged from the flash reading of 77.9, but down from 79.4 in March. Trades may also focus on the inflation expectations readings of the report.

Chubb to Acquire Healthy Paws, a Leading Pet Insurance Provider from Aon Plc, Financial Terms Undisclosed

As the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/04/38342737/nasdaq-100-notches-worst-day-since-late-2023-worst-week-since-late-2022-as-ai-driven-chipmakers-tu">market runs into rough weather,</a> the importance of the upcoming week&#8217;s earnings cannot be emphasized enough. A lot is riding on the earnings reports of companies like Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Alphabet, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (GOOG).
The Season So Far: The percentage of S&amp;P 500 companies that have reported positive earning surprises and the magnitude of earnings surprises are at or above their 10-year averages, <a href="https://insight.factset.com/sp-500-earnings-season-update-april-19-2024?utm_source=Direct&amp;utm_medium=Email&amp;utm_campaign=FO-04-19-2024&amp;utm_content=httpsinsightfactsetcomsp500earningsseasonupdateapril192024">said</a> FactSet in its report released Friday. That said, substantial downward revisions to earnings per share (EPS) estimates of two healthcare companies have led to a decline in earnings growth over the past two weeks.
The combined earnings per share growth rate of S&amp;P 500 companies, considering both the already reported actual results and the estimates for those yet to report, is at 0.5%, according to FactSet. The metric, however, fell from the 0.9% estimated previous week and the 3.4% estimated at the end of the first quarter. Earnings growth for the quarter may extend the positive growth streak to three quarters.
So far, 14% of the S&amp;P 500 companies have reported March quarter results.

Look Ahead: The upcoming week will likely feature earnings releases from 158 S&amp;P 500 companies, including 11 Dow 30 components. With the bank earnings tapering off, the spotlight shifts to tech companies, as they begin to roll out their quarterly scorecard this week.
Apart from some big techs, which are part of the group called the &#8220;Magnificent Seven,&#8221; homebuilders, defense contractors, airlines and transportation companies are also due to release their quarterly reports. 
All eyes are focused on Tesla as analysts expect a downbeat report from the company. Analysts see the scope of a further contraction in margin and potentially a double miss yet again in the first quarter.
AI stalwarts Microsoft, Alphabet and Meta are widely expected to report strong results. Following the recent tech-led sell-off, Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives said, &#8220;We believe 1Q earnings will be a major positive catalyst for the tech sector and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/04/38252477/why-microsoft-alphabet-amazon-palantir-and-meta-could-rise-15-in-2024-according-to-">expect tech stocks to be up another 15% for the year</a> adding to the strong start to 2024.&#8221;
