<p>Shares of<strong> WR Berkley Corp </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WRB#NYSE">WRB</a>)<strong> </strong>have gained more than 7% over the past month after the company reported in late October <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41463974/these-analysts-increase-their-forecasts-on-wr-berkley-after-q3-results">upbeat third-quarter earnings</a>.</p>
<p>The company is poised to benefit from continued strong casualty pricing increases well into 2025, according to Goldman Sachs.<strong></strong></p>
<p><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/62cd59300ee57b0001a11a55/robert-cox">Analyst Robert Cox</a> upgraded the rating for WR Berkley from Neutral to Buy, while keeping the price target at $69.</p>
<p><strong>The Thesis: </strong>The company is likely to continue earning insurance pricing higher than the claim cost trend, resulting in margin expansion, Cox said in the upgrade note.</p>

<p>The Street estimates suggest a material deterioration in the insurance segment loss ratio, despite WR Berkley continuing to earn insurance pricing higher than claims, he added.</p>
<p>Strong pricing and improving paid-to-incurred loss ratios have eased the concerns around reserve development and above-average investment leverage "drive our net investment income estimates 5% above the street in 2026," the analyst stated.</p>
<p>"Lastly, our analysis on the E&amp;S market cyclical and secular factors drive improved premium growth estimates, as we believe additional casualty insurance policies will enter the E&amp;S market where WRB earns ~40% of its premiums," he further wrote.</p>
<p><strong>Price Action:</strong> Shares of WR Berkley had risen by 1.17% to $63 at the time of publication on Monday.</p>
