USF&G Corp

Article Abstract:

Stock prices of USF&G Corp (FG) have risen 29% from 1991. The increase is an affirmation of FG's successful corporate reorganization. The economic viability of the property and casualty insurance company is further confirmed by Salomon Brothers' upgrading of its stock. FG managed its turnaround by downsizing and reducing other expenses. It also reduced its losses in 1991 to $2.15 per share from $5.37 in 1990, and hopes are high the company will be recording a profit in 1993. FG's confidence is bolstered by General Electric Pension Trust's acquisition of $98.5 million of FG's preferred stocks.
