A Look At AXIS Capital Holdings (AXS) Valuation After New AI Cyber Risk And Budget Survey Release

AXIS Capital Holdings (AXS) is back on investors’ radar after releasing a survey of 500 CEOs and CISOs that puts AI driven cyber attacks and rising cybersecurity budgets firmly in the spotlight.

See our latest analysis for AXIS Capital Holdings.

The AI cyber risk survey lands at a time when AXIS Capital Holdings’ share price is US$102.07, with a 90 day share price return of 11.89% and a 1 year total shareholder return of 17.80%. The 5 year total shareholder return of 155.47% points to strong long term compounding even after a 6.35% 30 day share price pullback.

If this AI and cyber focus has your attention, it could be a good moment to scan other insurance peers and adjacent healthcare stocks for fresh ideas.

With AXIS Capital trading at US$102.07, an intrinsic discount of about 69% and a value score of 5 may hint at potential mispricing. Is this an underappreciated insurer, or has the market already pencilled in future growth?

Most Popular Narrative: 15.6% Undervalued

The most followed narrative puts AXIS Capital Holdings’ fair value at about $120.91 versus the current $102.07, and ties that gap to measured, model driven assumptions.
