According to a research report published this morning, Citi has downgraded Progressive PGR from Buy to Neutral.
Citi commented in the report, "PGR shares are +10% YTD and have generally outperformed ins peers.
We view this strength, driven by improving PIF/premium trends and positive tone surrounding Snapshot, as currently reflected in the stock's valuation at 2.1x BV and ~14x our 2012E; we see more value within the next 12 mths in commercial insurers and ins brokers as each should benefit from improving pricing trends and margins."
Citi maintains its $22 PT on Progressive, which closed Friday at $22.23.
