Shares of Travelers (TRV) are soaring 5.04% in Tuesday's intraday trading session, significantly outperforming the broader market as the Dow Jones Industrial Average experiences a substantial rally. The insurance giant's stock is among the top contributors to the Dow's impressive gains, which have seen the index surge by over 900 points.

The robust performance of Travelers' stock can be attributed to two main factors. Firstly, the overall market sentiment is highly positive, with the Dow seeing strong gains across multiple components. Secondly, Travelers continues to benefit from the afterglow of its recent earnings surprise, which has bolstered investor confidence in the company's financial health and growth prospects.

Last week, Travelers reported first-quarter earnings per share of $1.91, nearly triple the consensus expectation. This substantial beat has likely contributed to sustained buying pressure on the stock, as investors reassess the company's value in light of its strong financial performance. The positive momentum from this earnings surprise, combined with the broader market rally, has created a perfect storm for Travelers' stock appreciation, cementing its position as one of the day's top performers in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
