What is the price target of Markel Corporation (MKL)?

What is the future stock price of MKL by 2030?

Our research-backed model puts the 2030 base case at $18,040.31, built from revenue projections, a growth-adjusted P/S multiple, net debt, and share dilution. It is a scenario rather than a prediction, and the bull and bear cases around it matter more than the single number when you are sizing a position.

What is Markel Corporation's revenue?

Markel Corporation's trailing twelve-month revenue is $16.01B, and our model projects it reaching about $18.90B by 2030.
