Old Republic Posts $243.2M Third-Quarter Net Income
ORI is trading near its 52-week low of $36.65 (9.5% above the low) on elevated volume (1.8× avg).
Summary
Old Republic reported third-quarter net income of $243.2M, a step down from the $322.3M it earned in Q2, when results were lifted by investment gains and a 58% year-over-year jump. Third-quarter revenue came in at $2.55B, and the quarter included an ECM gain. Q2 showed mixed underwriting, with the Specialty Insurance combined ratio at 95.5% while title insurance lagged, and that split is the key thing to check in the full release. At roughly $9.7B market cap, a swing of this size in quarterly earnings is meaningful for a property-casualty and title insurer.
At the time of this announcement, ORI was trading at $40.13 on NYSE in the Finance sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $9.7B. The 52-week trading range was $36.65 to $46.76.
