Hartford Financial price target raised to $165 from $160 at Cantor Fitzgerald

Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Ryan Tunis raised the firm’s price target on Hartford Financial (HIG) to $165 from $160 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. After a slow start with negative Q4 data points from peers, the insurance broker sector saw solid, clean results, supporting a compelling investment case, the analyst tells investors in a research note. While mid-single-digit organic growth appears achievable in 2026, broader commercial lines margins may face headwinds, particularly in the E&S segment, the firm says.
