What's in Store for Reinsurance Group (RGA) in Q4 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Reinsurance Group of America Inc. (RGA - Free Report) is slated to report fourth-quarter 2022 earnings on Feb 2, after the closing bell. RGA delivered an earnings surprise in three of the last four quarters while missing in one, the average being 49.74%.
Factors to Note
Reinsurance Group’s fourth-quarter 2022 results are likely to benefit from a compelling portfolio with market leading services, capabilities, expertise and innovation in the United States and Latin American traditional market. Significant value embedded in the in-force business added to the upside.
Premiums are likely to have benefited from organic growth and new sales. Net investment income is likely to have been favored by high-quality investment portfolio diversified across asset classes, sectors, issuers and geography. Also, an improving interest rate environment favoring higher investment yields is likely to have contributed to the upside.
Expenses are likely to have increased due to higher claims and other policy benefits, interest credited, operating costs and interest expense.
Continued share buybacks are likely to have aided the bottom line in the to-be-reported quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at $3.51 per share, reversing the year-ago loss of 56 cents.
What Our Quantitative Model Unveils
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Reinsurance Group this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat, which is not the case here.
