Lloyd's insurers expect moderate Baltimore bridge claims
Lloyd's of London insurers Hiscox and Lancashire do not expect large insurance claims from the collapse of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge in March that caused widespread disruption, they said on Thursday. Hiscox does not have direct exposure to the business interruption policy of the port, which is the busiest in the United States for auto shipments, or the property policy covering the bridge, the insurer said in its first-quarter trading statement. Hiscox said it was one of the reinsurers on the International Group of P&I Clubs' ship reinsurance policy, but said it expected its net loss to be "moderate", without giving further explanation.

Buy Northrop Grumman instead of Boeing: Portfolio manager
When investing, it can be hard to choose which stocks to avoid and which to consider, especially when you are trying to gain exposure to a specific sector. In the latest edition of Good Buy or Goodbye, F/m Investments Senior Portfolio Manager Don Nesbitt shares his stock that could fly and which could face turbulence in the aerospace industry.  Nesbitt likes Northrop Grumman (NOC) for its "consistent earnings and sales growth." He also says the company has a strong order backlog and uses free cash flow to return cash to shareholders. He also thinks it has an attractive valuation. Nesbitt cautions, however, that the company risks facing an over-reliance on US government contracts.  Nesbitt is less of a fan of Boeing (BA). His first concern, which is a short-term one, is the uncertainty surrounding who will be leading the company after CEO Dave Calhoun steps down at the end of the year. Nesbitt also points to the debt downgrade from Moody's and the lack of a dividend. What could reverse his thesis? Investors shrugging off some of the more near-term concerns or that the leadership shake-up serves as a positive catalyst.

ConocoPhillips misses quarterly profit estimates on lower gas prices
(Reuters) -U.S. oil producer ConocoPhillips missed Wall Street bets for first-quarter profit on Thursday, as lower natural gas prices and increased costs offset gains from higher oil production. A milder-than-expected winter hurt demand for the heating fuel in the quarter and pulled down U.S. natural gas prices to a three-and-a-half-year low in February, also affecting earnings of U.S. oil majors Exxon Mobil and Chevron. ConocoPhillips CEO Ryan Lance said energy prices have been volatile, but should not prevent the company from increasing cash distribution to shareholders.
