Keefe, Bruyette & Woods initiates coverage on National Interstate (NASDAQ: NATL) with a Market Perform. PT $26.00.

KBW analyst says, "NATL, which is 52% owned by AFG, is a leading niche underwriter specializing in transportation and alternative risk transfer (ART) products. With a track record of generating double-digit ROEs, NATL trades at a premium to peers, which we view as appropriate. But given the current competitive landscape, and the stock's premium multiple, near-term upside potential appears somewhat limited, in our view."
