Why consensus could be wrong
Despite strong historical performance, the Street may be overly optimistic about RenaissanceRe's ability to sustain such high EPS growth given market conditions.
Supporting evidence
Options are pricing a 2.91% move, indicating expectations of volatility that may not align with the company's historical performance.
