    RenaissanceRe provides reinsurance services for property-catastrophes worldwide. It has a Zacks Rank of #1 and its earnings estimate for this year has risen by 12.9% in the last 60 days. The company’s PEG ratio is 1.67, better than the industry average of 1.82, and it holds a Growth Score of A. Great Lakes Dredge & Dock is the largest US provider of dredging services. It also has a Zacks Rank of #1, with its earnings estimate increasing by 6.9% in the past 60 days. Its PEG ratio is 1.01, much lower than the industry average of 3.03, and it has a Growth Score of A as well. Phibro Animal Health leads globally in animal health and mineral nutrition. It has achieved a Zacks Rank of #1 and has seen its earnings estimates rise by 9.1% in the last 60 days. The company’s PEG ratio is 1.06, compared to the industry average of 2.44, and it carries a Growth Score of B. Zacks Investment Research provides independent investment analysis to help individuals and institutions make better investment decisions. With the positive earnings revisions for RenaissanceRe, we expect its stock to rise in the coming weeks. Traders might consider buying call options with expiration dates in February or March. This strategy can help capture gains if the stock price goes up. Recent events support this optimistic view. The destruction caused by the 2025 hurricane season forced insurers to pay a lot in claims. As a result, reinsurers like RNR can charge higher prices. Industry data shows that renewal rates for property-catastrophe coverage increased by an average of 18% on January 1st, benefiting RNR’s profits. For Great Lakes Dredge & Dock, the low PEG ratio and positive analyst views suggest that it may be undervalued. A smart move here would be to sell cash-secured puts, with expirations in the next 30 to 45 days. This approach provides immediate income and sets up a potential purchase price below the current market rate. This strategy is supported by significant government spending. The Coastal Resilience and Port Modernization Act, passed in late 2025, is now funding various projects. The Army Corps of Engineers recently released its 2026 project list, which includes a 12% budget increase for waterway maintenance and dredging. This creates a robust order book for GLDD. The rising earnings estimates for Phibro Animal Health suggest a positive outlook. This situation is ideal for a bull call spread, which allows traders to benefit from a moderate price increase while controlling maximum risk. It’s a cost-effective way to express a bullish stance in the coming weeks. This optimism is based on solid global trends. Trade agreements made in mid-2025 to boost U.S. meat exports are beginning to show results. The latest USDA report supports this, predicting that global protein demand will reach a new record in 2026, which will increase the need for Phibro’s animal health products.
