For fiscal 2025, analysts expect the reinsurance company to report an adjusted EPS of $45.27, up 51.8% from $29.83 in fiscal 2024.
EG stock has declined nearly 10% over the past 52 weeks, lagging behind both the S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) 11.5% rise and the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund's (XLF) nearly 24% return over the same period.
Shares of Everest Group tumbled nearly 6% following its Q1 2025 results on Apr. 30 due to a steep 71% drop in net income to $210 million ($4.90 per share). The company posted a significant pre-tax catastrophe loss of $472 million, primarily from California wildfires, which contributed to a deteriorated combined ratio of 102.7%. Both adjusted EPS of $6.45 and revenue of $4.3 billion, missed Wall Street expectations.
Analysts' consensus view on Everest Group's stock is cautiously optimistic, with a "Moderate Buy" rating overall. Among 14 analysts covering the stock, six recommend "Strong Buy," one "Moderate Buy," six suggest "Hold," and one has a "Strong Sell." This configuration is slightly more bullish than three months ago, with five analysts suggesting a "Strong Buy."
As of writing, the stock is trading below the average analyst price target of $393.62.

‘You can't have it both ways': Trump's opposition to green power clashes with his AI agenda
'Without any eminent domain you wouldn't have any highways, you wouldn't have any schools, you wouldn't have any roadways,' he said in 2019. 'If we can't make a deal, we take the land and we pay them through a court process … otherwise you could never build anything.' The Energy Department said it canceled the Grain Belt Express loan guarantee because it was 'not critical for the federal government to have a role in supporting' the project, and that the conditions necessary to issue the guarantee were 'unlikely to be met.' 'To ensure more responsible stewardship of taxpayer resources, DOE has terminated its conditional commitment,' the department said. Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, who opened a civil investigation into the project earlier this month, called the decision a win in 'a major battle in the war for Missouri private property rights and farmers.''At our urging, the DOE saw this boondoggle for what it was, pulled the plug on nearly $5 billion in taxpayer-funds, and Missouri families are better off for it,' Bailey said in a statement. But the project's backers point out that the U.S. is badly in need of new transmission, especially the type that connects regional grids. Grain Belt Express is designed to connect four of those grids. It already received permits from the four states that it would cross and is set to begin construction next year. The line would run from western Kansas, where excess wind power is clogging the grid, to Missouri, Illinois and Indiana, where electricity demand is soaring. When the Plains grid is under strain from extreme weather, the line could reverse direction and carry power the other way. Rep. Sean Casten (D-Ill.), a former clean energy developer, said killing the project would be 'the biggest own-goal by an administration that says they're committed to building out transmission.' 'If the purpose of U.S. energy policy is to benefit consumers, that's a no-brainer, right?' he said. Chicago-based Invenergy, which is developing Grain Belt Express, has tried to appeal to Trump by painting the project as an opportunity for him to secure a major win where the Biden administration could not — completing a project that would advance the key pillars of his energy agenda. Earlier this year, the White House touted the project among its 'wins' for American investment. And while the line has largely been marketed as a boon for wind power, Invenergy has pivoted and is now looking to connect a new gas plant and possibly existing coal generation to the line. In a statement Wednesday, a project spokesperson signaled the company would continue to pursue the project — albeit without the government financing. 'While we are disappointed about the LPO loan guarantee, a privately financed Grain Belt Express transmission superhighway will advance President Trump's agenda of American energy and technology dominance while delivering billions of dollars in energy cost savings, strengthening grid reliability and resiliency, and creating thousands of American jobs,' the spokesperson said.
