W.R. Berkley stock (ISIN US08411M1045) traded at USD 68.80 on the NYSE as of September 22, 2026, down 1.70 percent, with a market capitalization of USD 25.54 billion. The quotation sits below the 52-week high of USD 78.96 and above the low of USD 62.87, making the current valuation more important than a simple daily move.
Targets cluster near the quote
According to MarketBeat on September 22, 2026, the consensus price target was USD 70.83, only USD 2.03 above the quoted price, or approximately 2.95 percent. The same overview listed 3 Buy, 9 Hold and 6 Sell ratings, producing a Reduce consensus.
The range of published targets was wide, from USD 55.00 to USD 83.00, a USD 28.00 spread. That gap matters because the average target implies limited upside from the September 22 quotation, while the highest target remains materially above the market price.
Analyst caution contrasts with valuation
Yahoo Finance reported on September 16, 2026, that Mizuho maintained a Neutral rating and lowered its price target from USD 74.00 to USD 72.00. The USD 2.00 reduction leaves Mizuho's target USD 3.20 above the September 22 market price.
MarketBeat's September 22 data showed a trailing price-to-earnings ratio of 14.13 and trailing-twelve-month earnings per share of USD 4.87. The stock's 50-day moving average stood at USD 70.75, while the 200-day moving average was USD 68.67, placing the quote close to the longer-term average and below the shorter-term measure.
Stock remains below yearly high
W.R. Berkley shares changed hands between USD 68.74 and USD 70.08 during the September 22 session, with reported volume of 4.36 million shares. The 52-week range of USD 62.87 to USD 78.96 means the stock was USD 10.16 below its yearly high and USD 5.93 above its yearly low on the same date.
For investors, the central comparison is therefore between a USD 68.80 market price, a USD 70.83 consensus target and a USD 72.00 Mizuho target. The figures point to a valuation debate in which analyst disagreement, rather than a single target, defines the near-term setup.
