Is ProAssurance Corporation (NYSE:PRA) a buy in 2026?
Yes, on balance. The Compass leans toward accumulating ProAssurance Corporation at current levels.
A boring medical malpractice insurer trading below book, with a hard market finally turning the screws in ProAssurance's favor.
Where PRA is headed
ProAssurance sits in one of the least glamorous corners of insurance, medical professional liability, and that obscurity is exactly the setup. The medical malpractice market has been hardening for six straight years as social inflation (juries handing out nuclear verdicts of $10M+) has gutted competitor reserves and driven smaller mutuals out of business. ProAssurance kept underwriting discipline through the soft years, took its lumps on adverse development from 2018-2022 vintages, and is now writing new business at rates 25-40% higher than where this cycle started. The flywheel takes time to show up in earnings because long-tail lines bleed bad reserves slowly, but by late 2027 the book should be dominated by post-hardening vintages priced for actual loss costs.
