Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $Lincoln National (LNC.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
The outlook appears robust for both life and property and casualty insurance sectors. In the life insurance category, the presence of 'offsetting currents' is noted, with positive equity markets being balanced against falling interest rates. The anticipation is for catastrophes to be marginally higher than average, influenced by several significant storm events within the U.S. In terms of property and casualty insurers, underlying margins are expected to stay at healthy levels, and pricing updates are likely to be received positively, including in the property sector where concerns about slowing price acceleration have been raised.
The life insurance sector presents a mixed picture, with strong capital positions and sensible valuations. However, expectations are for growth drivers to show moderation, suggesting that selective investment will be necessary for success in the life insurance market.
