The Panic-Proof Portfolio (Stockchase Research) Alleghany Corporation Y-N TOP PICK Feb 09, 2021

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Y is a New York based property and casualty insurance company. Earnings are expected to show a 40% drop in 2020 that are COVID and hurricane related, but that is already factored into the price presently for the shares. Analysts expect EPS next year to be up 200% and to grow by 30% annually over the next five years. The company currently trades below book value. Over 85% of the shares are held by large institutions -- making staying power strong. We would buy this with a stop-loss at $495, looking to achieve $825 -- upside potential exceeding 35%. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $825.00)
$608.110
