Barclays raised the firm’s price target on Fidelis Insurance (FIHL) to $17 from $16 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. Heading into Q2 earnings, the firm is more cautious on property and casualty carriers, saying underwriting margins face pressure from softening rates and unfavorable mix shift. Barclays is more constructive on reinsurers due to “idiosyncratic tailwinds” and capital return potential in the second half of the year. The analyst names Everest Group (EG) and Hartford Insurance (HIG) as top ideas.
