6/13/2025 ZURVY at $34.64. Rating & Action - In a world with increasing frequency of large-scale disasters and diminishing ability to reinsure, the strategy is to cut risk and raise rates. In response to denials of large rate increases, Zurich has wholesale exited markets and underwritten customers off policies. The result is less on the books. Going forward, the lack of willingness by admitted insurers will have two major results: (1) state insurance funds of last resort will add an unsustainable number of customers and assume massive risk; and (2) surplus line suppliers will charge rates that are ten times standard rates. Then, State Insurance commissioners will surrender and allow large rate increases that customers will gladly pay, relative to state and surplus insurers. Of course, the risk is natural disaster wipes out profits or wipes out ZURVY.
6/6/2025 at $41.27. . Action - Watch to Potentially Buy; Price Entry Uncertain. Is 2Q2025, expected report on July 8, 2025, the quarter that ENPH will return parabolic stock price increase?
ENPH rose from $2 to over $300 because it had superior financial execution in a fast-growing solar market between 2019 and 2022. Macro and industry conditions reversed starting in 2023, causing shrinking sales. However, since 2023, ENPH has actually expanded margins and been successful at launching battery sales. The key questions for ENPH is when will macro and industry conditions improve and when to buy the stock?

Expected report August 7, 2025.
