RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. (RNR): Valuation Snapshot
RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. (RNR) is a bank, insurer or other financial, and a discounted-cash-flow model is the wrong lens for one, so TickerWorth does not publish a DCF fair value for it. Its bank model puts it at about $684.65 a share against $349.88. Snapshot as of Oct 19, 2026.

How is a bank like RNR valued?
This is a bank / insurer / financial. A free-cash-flow DCF is structurally the wrong lens here (their debt and float are raw material, not financing), so we don't publish one. Instead we value it with a bank model — justified price-to-book, (ROE − g) ÷ (cost of equity − g), on a return on equity of 21.5% and a cost of equity of 9.8% — at about $684.65 a share ($602.53–$792.67 for a cost of equity one point either way), against a price of $349.88.
A dividend-discount cross-check gives about $22.91, shown as a reference only. Every input is listed with its source; it is a model estimate, not a price target.
Bank model (justified price-to-book)
Our bank model’s estimate: about $684.65 (range $602.53 to $792.67), against a price of $349.88. It is not a DCF and not a price target.
Value = book value per share × (ROE − g) ÷ (cost of equity − g). The range is for a cost of equity ±1% (8.8%–10.8%).
| Input | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Book value per share | $264.77 | yfinance, latest reported book value per share |
| Return on equity | 21.5% | yfinance, trailing twelve months |
| Risk-free rate | 5.1% | US 10-year Treasury yield (^TNX) |
| Beta | 1.00× | ESTIMATEno plausible beta reported; market risk (1.0) assumed |
| Equity risk premium | 4.7% | house equity risk premium (same as every DCF) |
| Cost of equity | 9.8% | computed — risk-free + beta × equity risk premium (CAPM) |
| Payout ratio | 2.8% | yfinance payout ratio (trailing dividends ÷ earnings) |
| Long-run growth | 2.5% | ESTIMATEROE × retention (20.9%), capped at the house long-run rate 2.5% |
| Justified price-to-book | 2.59× | computed — (ROE − g) ÷ (cost of equity − g) |
Dividend-discount cross-check: about $22.91, reference only — a low payout means most of the return comes from buybacks and retained growth, which a dividend model cannot see.

When we tested this family of bank models on past data, none ranked banks better than plain price-to-book. Treat it as one formula's estimate, not a verdict.

What we can say
RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. (RNR) is a bank, insurer or other financial, and a free-cash-flow discounted-cash-flow (DCF) model is structurally the wrong lens for it: for these businesses debt and float are raw material, not financing. So we value it the way a bank is valued — on the return it earns on its book equity. Our bank model (justified price-to-book) puts it at about $684.65 a share, between $602.53 and $792.67 for a cost of equity one point either side of 9.8%, against $349.88 today.
Read the full reasoning
Every input is listed with its source. It is a model estimate, not a price target, and not investment advice.
On the numbers we do have, RNR trades at a recent price of $349.88, a market capitalisation of about $14,538,176,512, sitting 98% of the way up its 52-week range ($231.17–$352.19), on the NYSE.
The standard alternative to a DCF is relative valuation — comparing RNR's trading multiples against a sector benchmark. Here that gives P/E of 6.0× (cheaper than the peer median of 14.2×); Fwd P/E of 8.4× (cheaper than the peer median of 13.3×); P/B of 1.3× (cheaper than the peer median of 2.6×); P/S of 1.3× (cheaper than the peer median of 4.7×); Dividend yield of 0.5% (richer than the peer median of 1.9%). A cheaper multiple than peers can flag a discount or a market that expects weaker growth; it is a comparison, not a recommendation.
The asset, or book-value, lens is the classic tool for asset-heavy businesses and financials. RNR shows a price-to-book (P/B) of 1.32 and book value of $264.77 per share. Price-to-book compares the market price to the accounting net-asset value per share; below 1.0 can mean a discount to net assets or that the market is pricing in trouble — descriptive either way, never a buy signal on its own.
Finally, a price-based read — explicitly not a valuation. RNR is in an up-trend (price above both its 50- and 200-day averages), trading -0.7% from its 52-week high. Over the past year the stock is +41.2%. Moving-average trend and 52-week position describe where the stock has traded; they say nothing about what it is worth.
To be exact about what this page is not: we are not saying the numbers for RNR are unavailable. They are, and they are above. We are saying a discounted-cash-flow model is the wrong instrument for this kind of business, and publishing one anyway — because the inputs happen to exist — would be a precise answer to the wrong question. Refusing is the more useful answer, and it is the same rule we apply to every name in this category.
