The insurer's stock has dropped by 2.76% in the past month, falling short of the Finance sector's gain of 3.93% and the S&P 500's gain of 6.06%.
The investment community will be closely monitoring the performance of Progressive in its forthcoming earnings report. The company's upcoming EPS is projected at $2.51, signifying a 402% increase compared to the same quarter of the previous year. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $17.77 billion, up 16.68% from the prior-year quarter.
Looking at the full year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $11.54 per share and revenue of $62.2 billion. These totals would mark changes of +88.87% and +0.72%, respectively, from last year.
It's also important for investors to be aware of any recent modifications to analyst estimates for Progressive. These latest adjustments often mirror the shifting dynamics of short-term business patterns. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Based on our research, we believe these estimate revisions are directly related to near-team stock moves. We developed the Zacks Rank to capitalize on this phenomenon. Our system takes these estimate changes into account and delivers a clear, actionable rating model.
