As the Q3 earnings season comes to a close, it’s time to take stock of this quarter’s best and worst performers in the property & casualty insurance industry, including Progressive (NYSE:PGR) and its peers.
Root’s third quarter results were met with a negative reaction from the market, despite the company delivering both revenue and earnings ahead of Wall Street expectations. Management attributed the quarter’s performance to rapid growth in both direct and partnership distribution channels, supported by the deployment of a new pricing algorithm and expansion into new states and marketing channels. CEO Alex Timm highlighted that these initiatives, along with advancements in pricing technology, drove a record number of policies in force and strong underwriting results. However, the drop in operating margin and rising competitive intensity were also emphasized as factors shaping the quarter’s outcome.

Wrapping up Q3 earnings, we look at the numbers and key takeaways for the property & casualty insurance stocks, including Cincinnati Financial (NASDAQ:CINF) and its peers.
Shares of digital auto insurance company Root (NASDAQ:ROOT) fell 10.2% in the morning session after its third-quarter earnings report showed a net loss, which overshadowed beats on revenue and earnings per share (EPS). The company initially saw its stock rise after it posted revenue of $387.8 million and an EPS of -$0.35, both of which were better than analysts had predicted. However, the positive sentiment did not last as investors looked closer at the company's operational performance. Root's combined ratio, a key measure of an insurer's profitability from its daily operations, came in at 102%. A ratio above 100% indicates an underwriting loss, meaning the company paid out more in claims and expenses than it earned in premiums. This result was also 11 percentage points worse than in the same quarter last year, suggesting deteriorating profitability. The stock's subsequent drop suggested investors were more focused on this underlying weakness than the headline beats.
