Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on Montpelier Re Holdings (NYSE: MRH) price target of $17.00.
Barclays analyst says, "MRH announced it expects 3Q11 pre-tax catastrophe losses of $70mn, above our $16mn outlook. The $70mn loss estimate includes $30mn in US losses related to Hurricane Irene and the Texas wildfires, $20mn from US aggregate covers, $10mn from the July Danish floods, and $10mn of losses from the June New Zealand Earthquake. As a result, we are reducing our FY2011 EPS estimate for MRH to a loss of $1.62 from a loss of $0.75. No change to our 2012 estimate of $1.50. We expect MRH's linked-quarter book value to decline 3% to $23/shr in 3Q11."
