Deutsche Bank upgraded RenaissanceRe Holdings (NYSE: RNR) from Sell to Hold.

Deutsche analyst said, "Year to date, shares of RenRe have seen their price-to-book multiple, which had enjoyed a 40%+ premium to the Bermuda peer group at the beginning of the year, converge downward. Now, its valuation stands at about a 20% premium. While we believe the long-term prospects of the property-catastrophe industry are suffering from too much capital and alternative competition, we note that shares of RenRe currently trade in line with year-ahead book value, and we no longer view valuation as expensive."
