Valuation

P/E ?Price-to-earnings ratio: how many years of profit does the stock cost? The lower, the cheaper the valuation. No earnings means no P/E. 9.8
Forward P/E ?P/E based on expected earnings for the next 12 months instead of past earnings — analysts' bet on the future. 10.0
PEG ?P/E divided by expected earnings growth: puts valuation in relation to growth. Around 1 is considered fair, well above that is pricey. 0.1
P/B ?Price-to-book ratio: market value relative to book equity. 2.0
P/S ?Price-to-sales ratio: market value divided by annual sales. Important for companies that aren't (yet) profitable. 1.2
EV/EBITDA ?Enterprise value including debt (EV) relative to operating profit before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) — more comparable than P/E because debt counts too. Extreme values arise when EBITDA is near zero. 0.0
Price/FCF ?Market value divided by free cash flow: how many years of freely available cash does the stock cost? More honest than P/E because cash flow is harder to dress up. 6.1

Profitability

Gross Margin ?Gross margin: what's left of sales after only direct production costs are deducted — the product's pricing power. 37.9%
EBIT Margin ?EBIT margin: operating profit as a percentage of sales — the earning power of the core business before interest and taxes. 15.3%
Net Margin ?Net margin: what's left of sales as profit after ALL costs, interest, and taxes. 14.9%
Return on Equity ?Return on equity: how much profit does the company generate per year on shareholders' equity? 22.7%
Return on Assets ?Return on assets: how much profit the company generates from its total assets (equity and debt combined). 3.9%

Balance Sheet & Safety

Equity Ratio ?Equity ratio: equity as a share of total assets. The higher, the more resilient the balance sheet. 21.9%
Debt/Equity ?Leverage ratio: financial debt divided by equity. Under 1 is generally seen as solid; negative values mean negative equity. 0.3
Altman Z″ ?Edward Altman's bankruptcy early-warning score. We use the Z″ variant, built from four balance-sheet ratios — it is designed for service companies and non-manufacturers and uses book value instead of market value. On that scale: below 1.1 = danger zone, 2.6 and up = safe zone, in between a grey area. Because the classic Altman Z is calculated differently, the two numbers are not directly comparable. The formula does not fit banks, insurers, or real-estate stocks. 5.71
Piotroski ?Balance-sheet health check by Joseph Piotroski: 9 yes/no criteria on profit, cash flow, leverage, and efficiency. 7+ is very solid, under 3 is a red flag. very solid 9 out of 9

Growth

Sales Growth Last Quarter ?Sales growth in the most recently reported quarter versus the same quarter a year ago (YoY). 6.10%
EPS Growth Last Quarter ?Growth in earnings per share in the most recently reported quarter versus the same quarter a year ago (YoY). 41.40%

Dividend Per Share (TTM) ?Sum of dividends paid per share over the last 12 months. 2.32$
Payout Ratio ?Share of profit paid out as dividends. Over 100% means the company is paying out more than it earns — not sustainable long-term. 16.7%
Years Without a Cut ?How many years in a row the dividend hasn't been cut — a measure of reliability. 16Years
Increase Streak ?How many years in a row the dividend has been raised — the gold standard for dividend payers. 13Years

Quality & Screener

Stage ?Weinstein phases 1 through 4: 1 = basing, 2 = uptrend (the only buy phase), 3 = topping, 4 = downtrend. Measured against the 30-week line. 1
RS Rating ?Relative strength from 1 to 99: an RS of 95 means the stock has outperformed 95% of all stocks. 33
EPS Rating ?Earnings growth rating from 1 to 99 versus all stocks — high values mean above-average earnings growth. 75
Fundamental Rating ?Our own Fundamental Rating: 0 to 100 points with an A+ to F grade. 50 points is the average across the universe, 100 the best possible score. It scores growth, earnings surprises, analyst estimates, margins, cash flow, and balance-sheet safety — every stock percentile-ranked against all others.

What Do These Terms Mean?

EPS (Earnings Per Share):
Quarterly profit divided by the total share count — how much of the profit works out to a single share.
YoY (Year over Year):
Change versus the same quarter a year ago — this is how you compare without seasonal distortion (e.g. the holiday shopping season).
Sales:
All revenue for the quarter, before any costs are deducted — the top line of the income statement.
Net Margin:
What percentage of sales is left over as profit in the end. Negative means the company is posting a loss.
OCF (Operating Cash Flow):
The cash that actually flows into the till from the core business during the quarter — harder to dress up than book profit.
FCF (Free Cash Flow):
Operating cash flow minus capital expenditures — the money that's genuinely free to use, say for paying down debt, buybacks, or dividends.

Valuation

What is priced in?

Instead of guessing what the stock is worth, we turn the question around: what free cash flow growth has to happen for today’s market value to add up? The assumptions behind it can be moved.

Today’s market value implies roughly -9.0% growth in free cash flow per year over ten years (assumptions: discount rate 10.0%, terminal growth 2.5%).

What is priced in?
Free cash flow (last twelve months) $5.87B
Market cap $35.98B
Free cash flow in year ten $2.29B
Terminal value as a share of market value 33.5%

For comparison: over the past five years free cash flow grew by 8.9% per year.

It shows which assumption is built into today’s price, not whether that assumption will hold. Every assumption can be changed with the sliders; the figures move with them.

Earnings calls

What the Earnings Calls Reveal

Ten transcripts from 2024-Q1 through 2026-Q2 show a management team that usually delivers on margin targets and far less often on growth promises. The personal auto turnaround came in ahead of plan, the property premium goal and the six billion dollar small business mark were met, and trailing core ROE rose from 16.6 percent (2024-Q1) to 20.3 percent (2026-Q1). Against that stands a general liability reserve problem declared largely settled in 2024 that returned after five clean quarters in 2026-Q2 with the very same explanation, a policy count growth promise in personal lines that was never delivered, and an expense target whose interim reading in personal insurance moved the wrong way in mid 2026. Answers in the Q&A are open on headline figures but have been evasive on the breakdown of individual result drivers for years.

Red flags Some promises broken 10 calls reviewed, 2024-Q1 through 2026-Q2 · As of August 2, 2026

Auto turnaround beaten, growth promise missed

On the 2024-Q1 call management promised a 5 to 6 point improvement in the personal auto loss ratio for 2024, target margins from 2025, and policy count growth that would start modestly in 2025 and become meaningful in 2026. The margin half was beaten: 2024-Q4 reported 7.3 points of improvement, by their own words more than a point better than the high end of expectations, 2025-Q2 showed a 95.2 auto underlying combined ratio, and 2025-Q4 confirmed target profitability. The growth half was not delivered. In 2025-Q2 the CEO still explicitly reaffirmed that auto policy count would pivot to growth in 2026; in 2025-Q4 management then openly narrowed the goal to the agency channel, while direct channel growth was described as challenged. In 2026-Q1 and 2026-Q2 auto written premium fell 10 percent year over year each quarter, with total personal insurance down 6 and 7 percent.

Liability reserves: all clear lasted five quarters

After smaller general liability additions in 2024-Q1 (17 million dollars), 2024-Q2 (32 million) and 2024-Q3 (32 million), 2024-Q4 brought a 130 million dollar strengthening with an explicitly changed methodology. The CEO said: 'I feel highly confident that we put a good, if not all, a good chunk of this behind us.' That held for five quarters: 2025-Q1 stressed there were no increases at all in general liability and commercial auto, and 2025-Q2 through 2025-Q4 stayed clean. The 70 million dollars booked in 2026-Q1 do not count against it: per the transcript they related to sexual abuse exposures from the 1970s and 1980s including a provision for a bankruptcy settlement, a different matter from the loss trend gap addressed in 2024. The all clear broke in 2026-Q2: 46 million of general liability in the quarter plus commercial auto, spread across accident years 2017 to 2019 and 2022/23. The reasoning was in substance the same as in 2024: rising attorney representation and time limit demands. Asked whether anything was different this time, the CFO answered: 'No. I would not call out anything being different.'

Employee benefits: strong margin, sales promise missed

In 2024-Q4 management guided to a modest increase in sales for 2025 and said it was off to a solid start. That did not happen: in 2025-Q3 premiums and sales were flat year over year, and in 2025-Q4 the segment head himself conceded sales had been soft in 2025. The cause was an error the CEO openly admitted in 2025-Q2: in hindsight the company had priced group life on too conservative a mortality view and suppressed its own sales. Meanwhile the margin ran persistently above the self imposed 6 to 7 percent range (2024: 8.2 percent, 2025: 8.2 percent). The picture only turned in 2026: sales rose 53 percent in 2026-Q1 while the margin fell to 6.9 percent, and to 7.4 percent in 2026-Q2 with the disability loss ratio up 6.3 points.

AI narrative without hard numbers

Before 2025 artificial intelligence barely featured on these calls. In 2025-Q1 the CEO promised the company would lead the industry's AI implementation and asked investors to stay tuned. The frequency has climbed since: 2025-Q3 named an IT budget of 1.3 billion dollars with just over 500 million of it investment spend, and 2025-Q4 added phrases such as AI-first mindset and game changer plus expense ratio goals of below 30 percent in business insurance and below 25 percent in personal insurance by the end of 2027. None of it is measurable so far: in 2026-Q2 the P&C head said plainly that no KPIs had been disclosed for claims or underwriting and none would be. The expense ratios themselves have not improved so far, at 30.7 versus 30.6 percent in business insurance and 26.3 versus 25.1 percent in personal insurance. On the same call the company attributes the personal insurance increase to lower earned premium and higher commissions from a growing agency mix, and calls the business insurance figure in line with expectations and on track for the year end 2027 targets.

Annual commitment for 2025, none for 2026

In 2024-Q4 the CEO gave a clear annual commitment: the business insurance underlying combined ratio would stay consistent with 87.9 in 2025, while he simultaneously refused any product line reconciliation. 2025 ended at 88.5, and the 0.3 point gap at the half year was brushed aside in 2025-Q2 with the remark that one should not quibble over 30 basis points. For 2026 the same commitment was withheld: in 2025-Q4 he explicitly declined to give specific numbers or ranges. When an analyst called the expense targets guidance in 2026-Q2, he corrected her: 'We are not providing guidance. These are goals... We are not in the guidance game.' That is not a retroactive downgrade, since in 2025-Q4 the targets had only been offered as a personal view in the Q and A ('I could see it getting below 30%'), and on the same 2026-Q2 call the company confirmed it remained on track for its year end 2027 targets. The timing still stands out: the remark came in the quarter in which the personal insurance expense ratio deteriorated and he himself called that target path a substantially higher bar.

What was delivered reliably

Not everything is criticism. The 3 billion dollar property premium goal named in 2024-Q2 and 2024-Q3 was hit exactly according to 2024-Q4, followed by just over 3.3 billion in 2025. The six billion dollar small business mark flagged from 2025-Q1 onwards was reached in 2025 (2025-Q4). The rollout of the Prevail agency product ran ahead of promise: 2025-Q2 pledged 6 states by year end, and the company delivered 10 (2025-Q4), 15 (2026-Q1) and 23 (2026-Q2), putting the roughly 30 states by early 2027 within reach. Capital return also followed the stated path: buybacks of 350 million dollars per quarter (2024-Q1) rising through 400 and 450 to 475 million from 2026-Q3, plus dividend increases of 11 percent (2024-Q3) and 15 percent (2025-Q3).

Management promises

  • 2024-Q1 — The personal auto loss ratio improves by 5 to 6 points in 2024 and target margins are reached in 2025. Beaten. 2024-Q4 reported 7.3 points, 2025-Q2 showed 95.2, and 2025-Q4 confirmed target profitability was achieved. kept
  • 2024-Q1 — Personal auto policy count grows modestly from 2025 and more meaningfully from 2026. Not delivered. In 2025-Q4 the goal was narrowed to the agency channel, and in 2026-Q1 and 2026-Q2 auto premium fell 10 percent each quarter. broken
  • 2024-Q3 — Commercial property written premium reaches 3 billion dollars in 2024. Met. 2024-Q4 reported the full year goal as achieved, followed by just over 3.3 billion in 2025. kept
  • 2024-Q4 — The general liability reserve issue is largely, if not entirely, behind the company. Held for five quarters through 2026-Q1; the 70 million dollars booked there related to abuse claims from the 1970s and 1980s, a different matter. Broken in 2026-Q2 with 46 million of general liability plus commercial auto on the same reasoning as in 2024. broken
  • 2024-Q4 — Employee benefits sales increase modestly in 2025. Missed. In 2025-Q3 premiums and sales were flat, and in 2025-Q4 management itself called 2025 sales soft. broken
  • 2024-Q4 — The business insurance underlying combined ratio stays consistent with 87.9 in 2025. Narrowly met. 2025 ended at 88.5, 0.6 points weaker; management actively defended the gap in 2025-Q2 and 2025-Q3 rather than dropping the target. kept
  • 2025-Q2 — The Prevail agency offering is live in 6 states by the end of 2025 and in roughly 30 states by early 2027. Beaten and on track: 10 states in 2025-Q4, 15 in 2026-Q1, 23 in 2026-Q2. kept
  • 2025-Q4 — The expense ratio falls below 30 percent in business insurance and below 25 percent in personal insurance by the end of 2027, with a visible decline already in 2026. The deadline runs to the end of 2027, but no decline is visible yet in the first half of 2026: business insurance was flat year over year, personal insurance was unchanged in 2026-Q1 and 1.2 points worse in 2026-Q2. In 2026-Q2 management still holds to the year end 2027 target while calling the personal insurance path a substantially higher bar. open
