Frequently asked questions
What is W. R. Berkley Corp's revenue?
W. R. Berkley Corp's trailing twelve-month revenue is $14.85B, and consensus projects about $18.71B by 2030. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is WRB?
In its most recent fiscal year, WRB ran a gross margin of 19.81%, an operating margin of 15.87%, and a net margin of 12.10%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does WRB generate?
WRB produced $3.47B in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is WRB's balance sheet healthy?
WRB holds $2.54B in cash and equivalents against $2.84B in long-term debt, on $9.70B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
