May 19 - (The Insurer) - Scor is the only one among the four major European reinsurers to have experienced an increase in its share price since announcing first-quarter results this month.
As of the close of trading on Friday, May 16, shares in the French reinsurer were up by 7.1% compared to its closing price prior to its results announcement on May 7.
