Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report – 

 

 

 

CNBC says:

CNBC says: “Heritage Insurance expects an estimated loss of about $200 million to $300 million in Florida thanks to Hurricane Irma, a far cry from the expected billion-dollar price tag had the storm gone in another direction, the company’s CEO told CNBC on Monday.

“Had this even gone from Miami-Dade County in southeast Florida up the east coast, it was probably a billion plus for Heritage. That’s where the high concentrated policy counts are, where the population lives,” Bruce Lucas said in an interview with “Closing Bell.”

“So when Irma took a turn to the west and went up the west side of the coast, you could hear a sigh of relief in the Florida market.”

On Monday, insurance companies rallied after initial reports from Florida revealed less damage than expected. Heritage Insurance led the way, soaring over 21 percent.

Shares of home insurers tied to the Florida market plunged last week as investors feared historic damage from Irma. The Category 5 storm tore through the Caribbean and made landfall in the Florida Keys as a Category 4 storm Sunday morning.

Irma, now downgraded to a tropical storm, ripped roofs off homes and caused flooding and power outages across the state.”
