WR Berkley stock price 2026–2030: scenariosHow are the stock price scenarios calculated? Bear, base and bull prices for the years ahead: the analysts' EPS estimates times the lowest, average and highest P/E of the stock today and at its last five year ends, or of its peers.
If WR Berkley's earnings keep growing at the 5.9% a year analysts expect to FY2028, it would earn about 5.70 a share in FY2030. At the P/E it has traded at over the last five years (13.3 to 16.4) that is 75.99 to 93.58 a share, or 84.26 at its average P/E of 14.8. This is arithmetic on the analysts' estimates, not a prediction.
| Fiscal year | EPS | Bear | Base | Bull |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | 4.95 | 65.94 | 73.12 | 81.20 |
| FY2027 | 4.84 | 64.57 | 71.59 | 79.51 |
| FY2028 | 5.09 | 67.82 | 75.20 | 83.52 |
| FY2029 (extrapolated) | 5.39 | 71.79 | 79.60 | 88.41 |
| FY2030 (extrapolated) | 5.70 | 75.99 | 84.26 | 93.58 |
Each year's EPS is the analysts' consensus to FY2028; the years after grow 5.9% a year (the analysts' growth, at most 15%). Bear, base and bull apply the lowest, average and highest P/E of today and the last five fiscal year ends, leaving out any above 60, the mark of a year of collapsed earnings (13.3, 14.8, 16.4).
Is WR Berkley stock undervalued or overvalued?How does Arincen work out a stock's fair value? Fair value is our estimate of a share's price at the P/E the company usually trades at, with a low to high range around it.
WR Berkley's P/E of 16.4 is near the top of its 5-year range (6.0 to 17.7, median 10.3). Analysts do not expect faster growth than in recent years, so it is expensive compared with its own history. Buyers pay more for each point of growth than usual: a PEG of 3.6 on expected growth against 0.4 on its median P/E and past five years' growth. At the median P/E of its peers (12.8 × EPS of 4.75), WR Berkley's fair value is 60.71; the price, 77.97, is 28.4% above it. Its forward P/E, on the consensus for FY2026, is 15.8.
Fair value on the peers is the median P/E of the US companies of its industry closest in size times its earnings per share of the last twelve months; the ends of the bar are the same earnings at the lowest and highest peer P/E (10.2 and 23.6). The price against its P/E range
