Key Terms

dual listing, direct written premiums
2 terms
dual listing financial
"announced today a dual listing of its common stock on NYSE Texas"
A dual listing is when a company makes the same shares available on two different stock exchanges, often in different countries, so investors can buy and sell the same ownership stake in more than one market—like a shop opening branches in two cities that sell the same product. It matters to investors because it can widen the pool of buyers, make shares easier to trade, expose the stock to different currencies and rules, and create price differences or arbitrage opportunities that affect returns and risk.
View in glossary
direct written premiums financial
"with more than 7% of our total direct written premiums generated in Texas"
Direct written premiums are the total dollar value of insurance policies an insurer issues to customers before subtracting any reinsurance costs or adding premiums it assumes from other insurers. Think of it as the insurer’s gross sales of coverage, like a retailer’s store receipts before discounts or wholesaler adjustments. Investors watch this number to gauge a company’s sales growth, market share and the scale of its underwriting business.
