⚠ Wildfires and Wealthy HomesModerate threat

Tokio Marine Holdings (8766) — threat to the moat

Pure's customers own the kind of homes that wildfires destroy.

Pure insures expensive homes, which concentrates catastrophe exposure: a single wildfire can damage many high-value houses. Tokio Marine's catastrophe budget for outside Japan is ¥95.0 billion in the current year1.

Growing between catastrophes.

The company lists natural catastrophes first among its business-environment risks2.

High-net-worth insurers respond by raising prices and limiting exposure in the riskiest areas, which slows growth.

Pure's profit rose to ¥43.2 billion in the latest year3, when group catastrophe losses of ¥131.2 billion were below the ten-year average45. A heavy catastrophe year would show how much of that profit is earned after paying for the risks it carries.

The measure is Pure's profit in a heavy catastrophe year. Holding it would show the pricing adequate for the risk.
