Poor underwriting results are leading to a hard market, as insurers reprice policies to recoup costs. I expect UFCS to return to profitability in 2024 with better pricing and continued strong investment income. However, until the company actually delivers, I prefer to maintain my hold rating. With Property & Casualty ("P&C") peers like Progressive Corp. ( PGR ) and Allstate Corp. ( ALL ) recently making new highs, I thought it may be timely to revisit United Fire Group ( NASDAQ: UFCS ), to see if its business fundamentals are also on an upswing. Overall, bad underwriting results from the industry due to high inflation negative impacting claims is leading to a hard market, as insurers have been renewing policies at double-digit premiums. This bodes well for United Fire's upcoming results. However, I prefer to be conservative with respect to United Fire, as the company has underachieved in the past. For now, I am maintaining my hold recommendation. Brief Company Overview Fo
