5 Insurance Companies That Beat The Market

Insurance giant UnitedHealth Group Incorporated is down -52% in the past month. This is a well-established company worth hundreds of billions of dollars, and it’s trading like a crypto meme coin called “Sydney Sweeney Plz Pee In My Mouth.”

Anyway, for years UnitedHealth Group Incorporated was considered “a table pounding buy” or “the ultimate no-brainer.”

I never reviewed this stock. Why? Because UnitedHealth Group always traded at a high price to earnings ratio while operating in the insurance industry — a sector that’s known for cheap market-beating stocks.

Case in point, here are five insurance companies that consistently beat the market while trading at relatively low valuations.

1. Aflac Incorporated ($AFL)

Aflac Incorporated is an insurance company that specializes in issuing supplemental policies. Aflac then takes a portion of the premiums they collect (in insurance terms this is called the “float”) and invests that money into bonds and treasury bills.

This allows Aflac to generate additional income “on the house.”

A successful business model that’s allowed Aflac to grow their dividend every year for the past 42 years.
