Progressive Sacrifices Growth to Maintain Profitability in Second Quarter
Progressive continues to hold up relatively well in terms of underwriting profitability as the personal auto industry works through a difficult period, but results also continue to show that the narrow-moat company is not completely immune to cyclical impacts. The trailing 12-month ROE of 5% is well below the company’s historical level, due to lower-than-normal underwriting profits and investment losses. We will maintain our $86 fair value estimate.
