Everest Group ( (EG) ) has issued an update.
On March 22, 2026, Everest Underwriting Group (Ireland) Limited, a direct subsidiary of Everest Group, Ltd., agreed to sell all outstanding shares of Everest Insurance Company of Canada, its Canadian retail insurance arm, to The Wawanesa Mutual Insurance Company for CAD 410 million, subject to adjustment and customary regulatory approvals. The deal includes a loss portfolio transfer reinsurance agreement with Everest Reinsurance Company’s Canadian Branch for pre-closing liabilities, a transition services agreement, and related ancillary arrangements, and is expected to close in the second half of 2026.
Announced on March 23, 2026, this transaction advances Everest’s strategic repositioning and its previously stated plan to exit Commercial Retail Insurance operations, following the 2025 sale of its global Retail Commercial Insurance renewal rights to AIG. With the divestiture of Everest Canada, its largest remaining retail platform, Everest sharpens its focus on core reinsurance and global wholesale and specialty insurance strengths, while Wawanesa gains a respected Canadian commercial business and talent base to expand its presence serving Canadian enterprises across a broader range of industries.
The most recent analyst rating on (EG) stock is a Hold with a $330.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Everest Group stock, see the EG Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on EG Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, EG is a Outperform.
The score is driven primarily by strong financial resilience (notably improved leverage and healthy profitability) and attractive valuation (low P/E with a solid dividend). This is tempered by neutral technicals and earnings-call commentary pointing to near-term transition costs, premium decline, and results volatility despite continued capital returns via buybacks.
