QBE Insurance Group Limited

QBE stock was up strongly after delivering a well-received result for the 2022 financial year; earnings came in at $847m, well ahead of expectations. The result was driven by top-line growth help by gross premium growth and strong investment income (helped by higher interest rate environment). NPAT beat by ~15-21% on the back of stronger investment income & a new reinsurance deal with Enstar which sees the company’s reserve risk reduce significantly.
