Q2 numbers set the tone
MarketBeat also says W.R. Berkley reported USD 3.72 billion in revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, up 2.4 percent from the same quarter a year earlier.

Target and valuation
The gap between the USD 69.84 opening price and UBS's USD 77.00 target is 10.3 percent, while the consensus target of USD 70.94 sits close to the current quote. MarketBeat also lists a price-to-earnings ratio of 14.34 and a beta of 0.28, which keeps the name in a relatively low-volatility corner of U.S. insurance.
