Despite the intense scrutiny of its sales and accounting practices of the past year, analysts have turned bullish on the property-casualty insurance sector, giving the market a thumbs-up in terms of near-term outlook.
"We have, for the first time that I can remember, a period where none of the sectors that we follow have a negative outlook," said Steven Dreyer, a managing director in the insurance ratings division of Standard & Poor's. (A negative outlook is given to a sector when it is expected that downgrades will outpace upgrades in the near term.)
John Iten, director, explained S&P's stable outlook for the commercial segment of the property-casualty sector earlier this week at S&P's annual insurance conference in New York.
