Insurance stocks sell off sharply as potential losses tied to LA wildfires increase

Insurance stocks sell off sharply as potential losses tied to LA wildfires increase

The devastating wildfires in Los Angeles have wreaked havoc on the California homeowners’ market, causing insurers to sell off sharply as the destruction continues to spread. Companies like Allstate, Chubb, and Travelers have seen their shares drop significantly, with JPMorgan highlighting them as the most exposed carriers to insured losses in the wildfires. Chubb, in particular, could face significant exposure due to its high-net-worth focus in the region.

The insured losses from this week’s fires are estimated to exceed $20 billion, with the potential for even higher costs if the fires continue to spread. This would make it the costliest wildfire event in California history, surpassing the $12.5 billion in insured damages from the 2018 Camp Fire. Moody’s Ratings expects losses to run well into the billions of dollars due to the high values of homes and businesses in the affected areas.

The largest of the five blazes, the Palisades Fire, has burned over 17,000 acres and destroyed more than 1,000 structures in the affluent Pacific Palisades area. With a median home price of over $3 million, the impact on insurance companies is expected to be significant. Companies have already requested Southern California Edison to preserve evidence related to the wildfires.

In addition to insurers, certain reinsurers like Arch Capital Group and RenaissanceRe Holdings have also been affected, with JPMorgan warning of potential breaches in reinsurance attachments as loss estimates rise. The situation remains fluid as authorities continue to assess the damage caused by the wildfires.

As the wildfires in Los Angeles continue to rage, the financial toll is mounting for insurers and reinsurers alike. The aftermath of these devastating fires will have far-reaching implications for the California homeowners’ market and the insurance industry as a whole. The resilience of these companies in the face of such catastrophic events will be put to the test in the days and weeks to come.
