In a report released yesterday, Elyse Greenspan from Wells Fargo maintained a Hold rating on Progressive (PGR), with a price target of $81. The company’s shares closed last Monday at $75.58.
Greenspan commented:
“We are increasing our 2019 EPS estimate to $5.50 from $5.45 to reflect the earnings beat, partially offset by lower premium growth. We are lowering our 2020 EPS estimate to $5.70 from $5.75 and we are maintaining our 2021 EPS estimate of $6.10. Our price target is unchanged at $81. The shares traded down today likely as the slowdown in premium written more than overshadowed the EPS beat.”
