Selective Insurance Q1 Earnings Miss Estimates, Revenues Increase Y/Y

SIGI’s Q1 earnings missed estimates as catastrophe losses and weak underwriting weighed on profits, despite stronger investment income and modest revenue growth. The results point to pressure on core insurance fundamentals even as top-line trends remain mildly positive. This is likely to be a stock-specific earnings headwind rather than a broad market event.
