The company reported fourth-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $9.15, beating the street view of $6.65. Quarterly sales of $12.008 billion (+10%) outpaced the analyst consensus estimate of $10.754 billion.
&#8220;We are very pleased to report record core income for the quarter of $2.1 billion driven by strong growth in earned premiums and excellent profitability,&#8221; said Alan Schnitzer, chairman and CEO.
Net written premiums jumped 7% to $10.742 billion in the quarter under review. Core income jumped 30% year over year to $2.126 billion.

&#8220;The improvement in the combined ratio was driven by very strong underlying profitability and higher net favorable prior year reserve development. Earned premiums and underwriting margins were strong in all three segments,&#8221; Schnitzer added.
The company repurchased 1.0 million shares during the fourth quarter at an average price of $255.41 per share for a total cost of $252 million.&nbsp;

The Travelers Companies Commits $1 Million To Assist Wildfire Relief And Recovery Efforts in California

Travelers Companies's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRV#NYSE">TRV</a>) short percent of float has risen 13.18% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 3.30 million shares sold short, which is 1.46% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.89 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Travelers Companies Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1736956812_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Travelers Companies has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Travelers Companies's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Travelers Companies's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 1.96%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Wells Fargo Maintains Underweight on Travelers Companies, Lowers Price Target to $213

California&#8217;s $10 trillion residential property market is under siege as wildfires wreak havoc across the southern part of the state.
What Happened: The fires, which have already destroyed more than 5,000 buildings, pose a potential risk to the stability of the state&#8217;s insurance market.
A report <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2025-los-angeles-wildfires-insurance/?srnd=homepage-americas&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">by</a> Bloomberg said that the wildfires have struck three areas identified as particularly susceptible. One of these is the Pacific Palisades neighborhood in Los Angeles.
Michael Wara,&nbsp;a senior researcher and wildfire&nbsp;expert at Stanford University told the outlet, &#8220;Pacific&nbsp;Palisades really jumps out, even&nbsp;in the context of high-risk&nbsp;areas in California.&#8221;
As of Friday, more than 57,000 structures were in severe danger, and more than 150,000 people were under evacuation.  JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) estimated on Thursday that the insured damages could surpass $20 billion, making it the most expensive wildfire in US history.

The wildfires have sparked concerns about the future of insurance for&nbsp;homes in one of the&nbsp;world&#8217;s most valuable property markets. 
"This sustainable insurance strategy is built for events like this," Michael Soller, deputy commissioner of the Department of Insurance said. "It is intended to stabilize the insurance market for the long term."
Daniel Swain, a climatologist at the University of California, Los Angeles, said, &#8220;Could a single event cause insurers to become insolvent? That&#8217;s the great fear.&#8221;
The escalating departure&nbsp;of private insurers has left&nbsp;the state-backed insurer of last&nbsp;resort, the California FAIR Plan,&nbsp;in a precarious position. 
The FAIR Plan&nbsp;could be on the hook&nbsp;for billions, as&nbsp;it estimated its own exposure&nbsp;in the larger Pacific Palisades&nbsp;area at nearly $6 billion.
According to the report, the State Farm, California's largest insurer, reduced nearly 70% of its policies in a Pacific Palisades ZIP code last year, while FAIR saw its policy count in the same area surge by 85%. 
This shift has left FAIR potentially liable for billions. As of September, the plan estimated its exposure in the broader Pacific Palisades region at nearly $6 billion. 
However, its most recent public financial report from spring of last year revealed just $200 million in surplus cash reserves and $2.5 billion in reinsurance—coverage designed to protect insurers in catastrophic scenarios—leaving a significant gap in resources.
Insurers with significant exposure to California&#8217;s homeowners' market faced sharp declines on Friday, as the devastation caused by the Los Angeles wildfires escalated.
Allstate Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALL#NYSE">ALL</a>) shares plunged 6%, while Chubb Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CB#NYSE">CB</a>) and Travelers Companies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRV#NYSE">TRV</a>) both dropped more than 3%, ranking among the biggest losers in the S&amp;P 500. Meanwhile, American International Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIG#NYSE">AIG</a>) and Progressive Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PGR#NYSE">PGR</a>) saw declines exceeding 1%.
According to JPMorgan, Allstate, Chubb, and Travelers are the insurers most exposed to the financial impact of the wildfires. The firm highlighted that Chubb&#8217;s focus on high-net-worth clientele in the region could lead to particularly elevated exposure.
Why It Matters: The current wildfires and the looming insurance crisis underscore the increasing threat of climate change. With the fires continuing largely unchecked, many are left pondering&nbsp;if this event will permanently&nbsp;alter the relationship between climate&nbsp;risk and homes in California. 
The escalating crisis not only threatens the property market but also poses a significant risk to the state&#8217;s economy.

California's $10 Trillion Property Market Faces Unprecedented Threat From Wildfires

Wall Street wiped out its entire post-election rally this week as mounting interest-rate fears were stoked by a red-hot labor market, surging inflation expectations and escalating geopolitical tensions ahead of Donald Trump&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42916780/donald-trump-receives-unconditional-discharge-in-new-york-hush-money-case-will-enter-white-house-as-convicted-felon">return to the White House</a>. 
In a shortened trading week due to Thursday&#8217;s funeral for former President Jimmy Carter, market activity reached a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/42922299/wall-street-tumbles-on-blowout-payrolls-oil-rallies-to-76-us-dollar-hits-26-month-highs-whats-driving-markets-friday"> fever pitch on Friday.</a>
The U.S. economy boasted an impressive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/42912480/us-economy-adds-256000-payrolls-in-december-as-tight-labor-market-tops-forecasts-dollar-treasury-yields-spike">256,000 nonfarm payrolls</a> in December — a figure that made the consensus economist forecast of 160,000 jobs pale in comparison. This marked the strongest employment growth since March. Additionally, the unemployment rate dropped to 4.1%, beating forecasts of 4.2%.
In simple terms, the U.S. labor market ended 2024 firing on all cylinders. While this robust performance bodes well for consumer spending, it poses a significant challenge for the Federal Reserve, which now faces mounting pressure to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/42913622/dollar-soars-to-27-month-highs-30-year-yields-hit-5-stocks-tumble-jobs-report-oil-spike-darken-feds-interest-rate-cut-hopes">keep inflation in check.</a>
Expectations for a new interest rate cut were further pushed down the road to September 2025 in reactions to new economic developments. For stocks, this represented a setback, as indices tumbled across the board.
Earlier in the week, President-elect Trump, in a one-hour speech at Mar-a-Lago, floated provocative ideas, including annexing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/01/42860583/trump-floats-canada-as-51st-us-state-says-hes-ready-to-use-economic-force-to-achieve-it">Canada as a 51st state</a>, imposing stringent tariffs on Mexico and demanding NATO members increase military spending to 5% of GDP.
On Friday, the Biden administration announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/25/01/42919047/oil-nears-80-as-us-prepares-new-russia-sanctions">new sanctions targeting Russian oil </a>giants Gazprom Neft and Surgutneftegas, shadow fleet vessels and opaque traders. These measures triggered a sharp rise in oil prices, further unsettling markets.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Inflation Fears Surge</h3>
Consumer inflation expectations for the next five years reached 3.3% in January 2025, hitting their highest levels since June 2008, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/42917321/consumer-inflation-worries-highest-since-2008-u-of-m-survey-says-wall-street-tumbles-to-2-month-lows">a University of Michigan survey</a>. Rising inflation anxiety may reflect concerns over the incoming Trump administration&#8217;s planned tariff hikes.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Wildfires Impact Insurers</h3>
California wildfires destroyed over 10,000 structures, intensifying pressure on property insurers like Allstate Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALL#NYSE">ALL</a>) and Travelers Companies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRV#NYSE">TRV</a>). Economic losses could reach $57 billion, with insurance <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/42906089/california-wildfires-ignite-concerns-for-insurance-stocks-here-are-some-insurance-etfs-which-could-be-impacted">stocks under market focus.</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Rate Hike Panic</h3>
The blowout December jobs report forced Bank of America Securities to scrap expectations for further interest-rate cuts. It marks a notable U-turn from a top investment bank. Economist Aditya Bhave floated the risk of rising discussions towards interest rate cuts, should core inflation <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/01/42926956/bank-of-america-scraps-interest-rate-cut-calls-betting-markets-go-haywire-as-hiking-panic-mounts">surges above 3% again. </a>

US Labor Market Smashes Expectations, Wall Street Erases Post-Election Rally As Interest Rate Anxiety Grows: This Week In The Markets

At least 10 people have been killed in the Los Angeles fires this week, with over 9,000 structures destroyed, according to the latest estimates <a href="https://www.latimes.com/california/live/pacific-palisades-fire-updates-los-angeles">cited</a> by the L.A. Times.
What Happened: Several wildfires broke out on Tuesday and Wednesday in Los Angeles following <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42855962/los-angeles-ventura-counties-brace-for-windstorm-as-bad-as-it-gets-for-fire-weather">a strong windstorm</a>.

The windstorm created a severe fire risk and several fires are still burning on Friday, the Los Angeles Times <a href="https://www.latimes.com/wildfires-map/?fire=palisades">reported</a>.
The blaze that began in Pacific Palisades burned over 20,000 acres of land. As of Friday, it is 8% contained.

Shares of insurance stocks are trading lower amid California wildfires.

Keefe, Bruyette & Woods Maintains Market Perform on Travelers Companies, Lowers Price Target to $268

Amid the ongoing devastation caused by wildfires in Los Angeles, Warren Buffett&#8216;s Berkshire Hathaway (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>), the nation&#8217;s largest property and casualty insurer, is expected to experience minimal financial impact, while other insurers face significant exposure due to its substantial presence in California&#8217;s homeowners insurance market.
What Happened: Berkshire Hathaway&nbsp;is not a major player in the California homeowners insurance market, hence the impact of the wildfires is expected to be minimal. However, other insurers like&nbsp;Mercury General Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCY#NYSE">MCY</a>),&nbsp;Allstate (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALL#NYSE">ALL</a>),&nbsp;Chubb Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CB#NYSE">CB</a>), and&nbsp;Travelers Companies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRV#NYSE">TRV</a>)&nbsp;could face substantial losses, Barron&#8217;s <a href="https://www.barrons.com/amp/articles/berkshire-hathaway-los-angeles-fire-losses-8e0e5591">reported </a>on Friday.
J.P. Morgan analyst Jimmy Bhullar&nbsp;noted on Thursday that insured losses from the fires might surpass $20 billion, setting a new record for wildfire losses in California. 
Mercury General, heavily reliant on California for its premiums, could be the most vulnerable relative to its size. The company wrote over $700 million in homeowners insurance&nbsp;premiums in the state during&nbsp;the first nine months of&nbsp;2024. Mercury&#8217;s stock fell 6.5% on Wednesday, reflecting investor concerns about its exposure to the fires.
Meanwhile,&nbsp;Berkshire Hathaway could see losses of about $600 million, a minor fraction of its insurance capital. The company might benefit from potential increases in insurance pricing following the fires.
Why It Matters: The ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42899028/la-wildfire-damages-estimated-above-52-billion-california-property-insurance-crisis">caused extensive damage</a>, with estimates suggesting total damages could exceed $52 billion, according to&nbsp;Accuweather. More than 2,000 structures have been damaged or destroyed, with further destruction anticipated as red flag warnings persist.
The fires have ignited concerns among investors regarding the stability of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/42906089/california-wildfires-ignite-concerns-for-insurance-stocks-here-are-some-insurance-etfs-which-could-be-impacted">California-based insurance stocks</a> and ETFs. The Eaton and Palisades fires alone have ravaged over 10,000 structures, leading to 10 confirmed fire-related deaths. As the crisis unfolds, insurers like&nbsp;Allstate&nbsp;and&nbsp;Travelers&nbsp;are under scrutiny, given their significant roles in the California market. The California FAIR Plan, a state-backed insurer of last resort, is also heavily involved in insuring homes in the affected areas.
Price Action: As per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>, on Friday during pre-market hours, Berkshire Hathaway was showing minimal upward movement by 0.022% while Chubb had dropped by 3.60%, Travelers Company was down by 4.85% while Allstate fell by 6.15%.

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway To Have Minimal Impact From LA Wildfires, But Insurers Like Mercury General, Chubb Face Higher Risk

California-based property and casualty insurance stocks and exchange-traded funds are in focus as the Los Angeles <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42899953/five-dead-in-los-angeles-wildfires-utilities-face-scrutiny">wildfires</a> have wreaked havoc and ruined over 10,000 structures.
What Happened: As five fires continue to burn LA County, the Eaton and Palisades fires have caused significant damage, destroying over 10,000 structures, including homes, businesses, and smaller buildings, <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/01/09/los-angeles-california-wildfires-thursday-live-updates/77560180007/">reported </a>USA Today. The County of Los Angeles Department of Medical Examiner said that 10 fire-related deaths have been reported. 
Allstate Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALL#NYSE">ALL</a>) and Travelers Companies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRV#NYSE">TRV</a>) are prominent California-based property insurers. As <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42899028/la-wildfire-damages-estimated-above-52-billion-california-property-insurance-crisis">reported</a> by Benzinga, many homes in the affected areas are insured by the state-backed insurer of last resort, the California FAIR Plan.
California&#8217;s insurance market was already in crisis before the recent wildfires. Insurers withdrew from the state due to mounting losses from increasingly frequent and severe fires. This issue was highlighted by actor James Woods, who <a href="https://twitter.com/RealJamesWoods/status/1876875152236941482">revealed </a>that his neighborhood recently lost its insurance coverage.

Why It Matters: AccuWeather <a href="https://www.accuweather.com/en/blogs-webinars/california-wildfires-52-57b-damage-estimate-accuweather-report/1731718">estimates</a> the economic toll of the Southern California wildfires at a staggering $52 billion to $57 billion. This figure includes damage to property and the disruption of daily life. Chief Meteorologist Jonathan Porter warns that this could become the most devastating wildfire in California history if the fires continue to spread.
