Markel Group is set to grow on rate increases, strategic buyouts, new business volume, solid capital position and prudent capital deployment.

While we can't categorize conglomerate Markel Group (MKL 1.21%) as a beaten-down stock, it certainly hasn't been an outperformer of late. While some peers in the finance and insurance sectors soared well higher over the past few years, it's risen modestly by comparison.

The right actions have been implemented with the sale of the Global Reinsurance business, the corporate reorganization, and the increased accountability. Markel Ventures delivered a positive surprise with 17% Y/Y operating income growth due to an improvement in construction services.
