Insurance Stocks Moving In Tuesday's Intraday Session

Wednesday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from United Fire Gr (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UFCS#NASDAQ">UFCS</a>). 
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
The company announced on Friday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 16 cents per share. On Thursday, United Fire Gr will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 16 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.
In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Thursday. Shareholders who own UFCS as of the end of Wednesday's session are eligible to receive the 16 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. 
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on March 22, 2024. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.

United Fire Gr's Earnings: A Preview

In 2024, insurance company stocks have outperformed the S&amp;P 500 index, only lagging behind the exceptional <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors">performance of semiconductor stocks.</a>
The iShares U.S. Insurance ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IAK#NYSE">IAK</a>) has experienced a 5% increase in January, surpassing the 3% rise of the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>).
But what is driving the rally in U.S. insurance stocks?
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Insurance Costs For Motor Vehicles Are Soaring </h2>
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/inflation">December Consumer Price Index report </a>provides valuable insight into the significant price increases experienced in motor vehicle insurance.
The index for motor vehicle insurance rose by 1.5% in December, following a 1.0% increase in the previous month.
Compared to December 2022, motor vehicle insurance costs have soared by +20.3%. This is the highest price increase for any item in the inflation basket over the past year.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Influence Of Electric Vehicles (EVs)</h2>
A <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-01-25/here-s-why-your-car-insurance-bill-has-never-been-more-expensive?srnd=premium&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">Bloomberg</a> report on Thursday highlighted a key factor influencing this trend: the complexity and costliness of repairing modern vehicles, especially those equipped with advanced technologies.
Bloomberg quotes Ben Clymer, a co-owner of a body shop chain in Southern California, who said the complexity of vehicles these days is generating increasing costs of maintenance. Repairing a basic model Kia is not like it used to be, as it might have 10 different computers and numerous sensors. This complexity, along with rising parts prices, Clymer explains, &#8220;creates the perfect storm for higher repair costs.&#8221; 
This has led to the fastest increase in auto insurance rates in nearly half a century.
The average repair cost for a traditional vehicle is now $4,437, according to CCC Intelligent Solutions, an auto insurance processing company. For EVs, the average repair cost is 49% higher, at $6,618, due to their advanced tech and the specialized handling needed for their electric powertrains.
Although equipped with fewer components compared to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles, EVs typically require over 20 days for repairs, which is 40% more time than needed for non-EVs, as reported by CCC Intelligent Solutions.

GOCO

Wednesday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from United Fire Gr (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UFCS#NASDAQ">UFCS</a>). 
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
The company announced on Friday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 16 cents per share. On Thursday, United Fire Gr will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 16 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.
In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Thursday. Shareholders who own UFCS as of the end of Wednesday's session are eligible to receive the 16 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. 
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on December 15, 2023. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.
