Additionally, its price-to-book value is recorded at 1.04, while the enterprise value to EBITDA ratio is notably high at 85.01.
In terms of performance, White Mountains has faced challenges, with a year-to-date return of -11.81%, contrasting sharply with the S&P 500's gain of 11.95% over the same period.
