Insurance Stocks To Research – May 19th

Tesla, UnitedHealth Group, and Berkshire Hathaway are the three Insurance stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat’s stock screener tool. Insurance stocks are shares of publicly traded companies whose primary business is underwriting insurance policies—such as life, health, property, or casualty coverage—and managing the associated risk pools. Investors in these stocks gain exposure to the insurers’ premium revenues, investment income, and claims-management performance. Because insurance companies balance underwriting results with returns on invested premiums, their stock prices often reflect both actuarial risk assessments and broader financial-market trends. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Insurance stocks within the last several days.
