Is Everest Group Stock Underperforming the Dow?

With a market cap of $14.2 billion, Everest Group, Ltd. (EG) is a global provider of reinsurance and insurance solutions through its Insurance and Reinsurance segments. The company offers a broad range of property and casualty products, including treaty and facultative reinsurance, as well as specialty lines such as catastrophe, marine, aviation, and mortgage reinsurance. 

Companies worth more than $10 billion are generally labeled as “large-cap” stocks and Everest Group fits this criterion perfectly. The company operates across the United States, Europe, and internationally, serving clients through brokers and direct channels.

 

Shares of the Hamilton, Bermuda-based company have declined 18.3% from its 52-week high of $407.30. Over the past three months, its shares have decreased 7.4%, underperforming the broader Dow Jones Industrials Average's ($DOWI) 1.4% rise during the same period.

Longer term, EG stock is down 8.2% on a YTD basis, a steeper drop than DOWI's marginal decline. Moreover, shares of Everest Group have dipped 11.8% over the past 52 weeks, compared to DOWI’s 8.6% increase over the same time frame.

Despite a few fluctuations, the stock has been trading below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages since late October last year.

Shares of Everest Group tumbled nearly 6% following its Q1 2025 results on Apr. 30 due to a steep 71% drop in net income to $210 million ($4.90 per share). The company posted a significant pre-tax catastrophe loss of $472 million, primarily due to California wildfires, which contributed to a deteriorated combined ratio of 102.7%. Both adjusted EPS of $6.45 and revenue of $4.3 billion missed Wall Street expectations

EG stock has performed weaker than its rival, SiriusPoint Ltd. (SPNT). SPNT stock has returned 17.9% YTD and 53.6% over the past 52 weeks.

Despite the stock’s underperformance, analysts remain moderately optimistic about its prospects. The stock has a consensus rating of “Moderate Buy” from 13 analysts in coverage, and as of writing, EG is trading below the mean price target of $391.75.
