On the news front, TD Cowen on July 29 cut its price target on Progressive sharply from $266 to $222, a 16.5% reduction, while maintaining a Hold rating. The downgrade follows the company's Q2 report, which showed adjusted EPS of $4.86 beating the $4.77 consensus estimate, but June net income declined 31% year-over-year, triggering market concerns. Multiple firms have subsequently lowered their price targets.
Additionally, the Property and Casualty Insurance sector faced broad-based selling pressure. Among sector peers, Arch Capital fell 5.17%, Travelers dropped 4.53%, Allstate declined 4.06%, and Chubb lost 3.73%, amplifying downward pressure on individual names.
