Travelers Stock Rises on Earnings. It Set Aside Another $5 Billion for Stock Buybacks. -- Barrons.com

Dow Jones01-21

By Nate Wolf

Shares of Travelers rose Wednesday after the property and casualty insurer reported solid quarterly earnings and authorized a new round of stock buybacks.

The company posted adjusted earnings of $11.13 a share for the fourth quarter, surpassing analysts' consensus estimates of $8.80, according to FactSet. Net premiums written totaled $10.85 billion, up 1% from last year but below Wall Street's call for $11.01 billion. It was the second consecutive quarter that Travelers beat earnings expectations but missed on premiums.

Travelers stock rose 1.6% on thin trading volume in the premarket session. Shares had dropped 7.1% in 2026 through Tuesday's close of trading.

The insurer benefited in part from a lack of major winter weather events. Catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance, dropped to $95 million from $175 million the year prior.

Travelers' board also authorized an additional $5 billion in share repurchases with no expiration date. The amount adds to the $2.015 billion remaining from previous authorizations as of Dec. 31.
