EVEREST GROUP, LTD. vs PROGRESSIVE CORP/OH/, two Insurance stocks. A side-by-side on valuation, growth, margins, returns, and what each price is betting.
Read these two through the multiple the market attaches and Progressive looks expensive at 10 times earnings until you see what it earns: 36% on equity and 9.5% on assets, returns that sit in a different league from Everest's 13% and 3.3%. Progressive's auto-insurance machine keeps 12.9 cents per premium dollar to Everest's 11.8, similar margins, wildly different returns on the capital behind them, which is the whole story. The price still leaves Everest cheaper, under 7 times to Progressive's 10, and Everest converts more into free cash, 20.7% to 13.8%. Progressive's standout figure is the 6.8% dividend yield against Everest's 2.4%. What you give up for Everest's discount is the best return on capital on this page, and the market has priced that trade plainly.
