On July 15, Progressive Corporation fell 4.98% in pre-market trading, trading at approximately $214.74/share, with turnover of $227,000.
The decline was driven by a combination of disappointing Q2 revenue and a recent analyst downgrade. Progressive reported second-quarter adjusted EPS of $4.86, slightly beating the consensus estimate of $4.77, but representing a 0.41% year-over-year decline from $4.88. Revenue came in at $21.573 billion, missing the market expectation of $21.599 billion. Adding to the pressure, JPMorgan downgraded the stock from overweight to neutral on July 14, setting a price target of $250, which had already triggered a 3.2% decline during the prior regular session.
Within the Property & Casualty Insurance sector, Chubb fell 0.37%, Travelers fell 1.76%, Allstate fell 2.94%, Hartford Insurance fell 0.32%, and American International Group was flat.
