delivered a mixed Q1 as strong underwriting performance and higher investment income helped boost earnings, but catastrophe losses and weather-related claims continued weighing on results. Investors were encouraged by solid premium growth and margin resilience, though concerns remain around future claims costs and exposure to severe weather events.
