Bob Huang’s rating is based on several compelling factors that highlight Progressive’s strong financial performance and strategic positioning.

This underwriting discipline is expected to continue through 2026, with projected earnings per share significantly surpassing consensus estimates.
Additionally, while there are concerns about growth momentum and increased competition, Progressive’s superior competitive positioning and durable underwriting margins provide confidence in its ability to navigate these challenges.
