1206 ET - Trupanion's founder isn't handing the CEO position to President Margi Tooth from a position of strength after another disappointing quarter, Stifel analysts say in a research note. Darryl Rawlings was supposed to remain CEO of the pet insurance company, but he's leaving a year early. "There has been ongoing consolidation in the pet insurance industry of late, maybe Trupanion was for sale but there were no takers and Darryl has moved on?" the analysts ask. "While we may not know the answer, we do know that Trupanion's business fundamentals continue to deteriorate." Stifel now sees wider FY24 and FY25 losses and cuts its price target to $22 from $28. Shares fall 10% to $21.28. (sabela.ojea@wsj.com; @sabelaojeaguix)
