flag QBE Insurance shares dropped 5.9% to a seven-month low on slowing premium growth, despite a $450M buyback and strong investment returns.

flag QBE Insurance shares fell to a seven-month low amid concerns over slowing premium growth, dropping 5.9% to A$18.62 despite a A$450 million share buyback. flag The insurer reported a 1.5% group premium rate rise for the first nine months of 2025, below earlier pace, largely due to weaker growth in business property insurance. flag Gross written premiums rose 6%, but analysts noted a cooling in pricing momentum. flag Strong investment returns of $1.25 billion and lower-than-budgeted catastrophe losses supported results, with QBE maintaining its 2025 guidance for mid-single-digit premium growth and a combined operating ratio of around 92.5%.
