CNA Financial (CNA) Stock Forecast & Price Target
CNA Financial (CNA) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
CNA Financial Corporation demonstrates a compelling outlook, primarily driven by a significant 15.9% sequential growth in case reserves, indicating robust risk management and proactive reserve establishment. Additionally, despite a 2% decline in international rates, the company saw an 18% increase in new business premiums, showcasing its ability to capitalize on attractive market opportunities. Furthermore, CNA's shares have consistently outperformed both the S&P 500 and the KBW Insurance Index over multiple timeframes, underscoring its favorable positioning within the profitable property and casualty insurance landscape.
Bears say
CNA Financial Corporation's stock faces a negative outlook primarily due to a recent decrease in earnings per share (EPS) estimates, with projected EPS for 2024 adjusted downward from $4.85 to $4.65, reflecting a miss in third-quarter performance. The current trading valuation of CNAF at 9.0 times its estimated EPS for 2025 is substantially lower than the average price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios of the S&P 500, indicating relative undervaluation alongside a concerning premium over historical price-to-book value (P/BV) multiples. Key risk factors, including potential loss cost inflation, heightened competition in commercial insurance pricing, and adverse developments in long-term care reserves, further contribute to a cautious financial outlook.
