Insurance Stocks To Consider – May 27th

Tesla, UnitedHealth Group, and Intuit are the three Insurance stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat’s stock screener tool. Insurance stocks are shares of publicly traded companies that underwrite and sell insurance policies—such as life, health, property, and casualty coverage—earning revenue from collected premiums and invested assets. By owning these equities, investors participate in the insurer’s profitability, which hinges on underwriting results, investment returns, and claim payouts. These stocks often appeal for their relatively stable dividend yields but can be sensitive to interest-rate shifts and large-scale loss events. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Insurance stocks within the last several days.
