AFG Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
American Financial Group Inc. (AFG) is well-positioned for growth, with expectations for a year-over-year improvement in core loss ratios in the Property and Casualty insurance sector by 2025, reflecting historical trends in the lag between peak pricing and profitability. The company's shares have demonstrated strong performance, outperforming the KBW Insurance Index and an equal-weighted S&P 500 over various time frames, indicating investor confidence bolstered by successful remediation efforts. Additionally, AFG has revised its net written premium forecasts upward for 2025 and 2026, anticipating a 2.8% and 5.1% increase year-over-year, respectively, driven by operational outperformance and early premium recognitions in agriculture-related sectors.
Bears say
The earnings outlook for American Financial Group has been downgraded, with revised estimates for 2025 and 2026 EPS lowered to $9.90 and $11.85, respectively, down from previous estimates of $10.10 and $12.05. This adjustment reflects the anticipated increase in core loss ratios and a decrease in net interest income (NII), which will impair profitability, despite factors such as faster premium growth and reserve releases. The initiation of 2027 EPS at $12.40 suggests a cautious growth trajectory, indicating potential challenges ahead in sustaining earnings momentum.
