White Mountains: Downgrading On Price Rise And Outlook

White Mountains Insurance Group, Ltd. is downgraded to Hold after a 20% share price run-up and signs of the underwriting cycle peaking. WTM remains discounted to book value and trades at a low P/E under 5x, with no evidence of a re-rating despite recent outperformance. Recent asset sales and acquisitions have left WTM with 14% undeployed capital, but management signals the current market is unfavorable for new deals.
