UBS maintains a 'Neutral' on XL Group plc (NYSE: XL) price target lowered from $22 to $21.
UBS analyst says, "XL fell short of our estimates across the board, with lower than expected investment income ($0.03), worse attritional combined ratio ($0.08), and losses from operating affiliates ($0.08)...We are reducing our 2012E EPS from $2.20 to $1.85, 2013E EPS from $2.38 to $2.10, and 2014E EPS from $2.65 to $2.40, primarily due to a higher accident year combined ratio (the 2012 change) and a lower investment yield (across the years). Our estimates also reflect the XL’s guidance towards higher operating expenses."
