Insurance Australia Group's stock plummeted 6.19% during intraday trading on Tuesday, reflecting a significant sell-off in the insurance sector.
The sharp decline came amid market concerns over the potential competitive disruption posed by the release of Insurify's artificial intelligence-powered insurance comparison tool. The ChatGPT-based app, launched to streamline the insurance buying process, raised investor worries about increased price transparency and competition for traditional insurers like Insurance Australia Group.
