What are Wall Street analysts saying about Progressive stock?

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Progressive stock:

1. Wells Fargo & Co analysts commented, "We are lowering our 2019 EPS estimate to $5.05 from $5.12 to reflect the earnings miss and lower net investment income. We are maintaining 2020 EPS estimate of $5.30. We are also maintaining our $73 price target. In our view, PGR shares are trading down to reflect weaker underlying results." (3/13/2019)
2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Progressive strives to become a one-stop insurance destination catering to customers, opting for a combination of home and auto. Policies in force and retention ratio will continue to remain healthy. The company’s Snapshot, Robinson and Home Quote Explorer programs should continue to drive its business. It focuses on paying back its shareholders via dividends as well as share repurchases that lower the share count and boost the bottom line. Shares of Progressive have outperformed the industry year to date. However, the company’s growth could be challenged by an intense competition. Exposure to catastrophe events and escalating expenses remain headwinds. Though the company witnessed estimates for 2018 move down 0.2%, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2019 moved north 2.3%."
