QBE Insurance Group (ASX:QBE) is poised to see 2024 catastrophe costs about $120 million below its allowance outlook of $1.28 billion, Jarden Research said in a note Wednesday.
Jarden believes that the better-than-expected North Atlantic Hurricane season, abating La Nina risks in Australia and a benign fourth quarter cycle could see 2024 catastrophe costs come in below the allowance outlook.
"FY24E [catastrophe] costs tracking for a beat against allowance," the investment firm said.
The investment firm reiterated its buy rating on the insurer and raised its target price to AU$20.90 from AU$18.45.
