Fair value: $231.70 (+144.3%), see how we got there

Axis Capital Holdings Limited trades at $94.84, which is 144% below the $231.70 our fair value estimate puts on the business. On that measure alone it screens as undervalued, though a valuation model is an argument rather than a measurement, and the market is frequently right about why something is cheap.

Our moat model scores it 55 out of 100, which is a moat, but not a deep one. A moat is a structural reason competitors cannot take the profits away, and it matters more to a long holding period than any single quarter's numbers do.

It changes hands at 7.5 times earnings. Be careful reading that in isolation: for a cyclical business a low P/E arrives at the top of the cycle, when profits are peaking and about to fall, which is exactly when the shares look cheapest and are not.

Common questions

Is Axis Capital Holdings Limited (AXS) undervalued?

Against our fair value estimate of $231.70, AXS at $94.84 is 144% below fair value. That is one model's answer, not a recommendation. It is built from normalized earning power with growth capped deliberately low, which understates companies whose value is mostly future growth.

What is AXS's P/E ratio?

AXS trades at 7.5 times earnings. A low P/E is not automatically cheap: on a cyclical company it is usually a warning that earnings are at a peak.

Does Axis Capital Holdings Limited (AXS) pay a dividend?

Yes. Axis Capital Holdings Limited yields 1.67% at the current share price. It has paid $1.32 per share over the trailing twelve months. It has paid a dividend in each of the last 23 complete calendar years. A dividend is declared by the board and can be cut at any time; a yield is a fact about the current price, not a promise.

When does AXS report earnings next?

Axis Capital Holdings Limited is scheduled to report on 28 Oct 2026. Companies move earnings dates, so read it as scheduled rather than certain.
