  • Selective Insurance Group (SIGI) Valuation Edges Slightly Above Market Amid Weaker Shares
    January 25, 2026, 1:42 AM EST. Selective Insurance Group (SIGI) shares have softened, down about 5% over the past month and 12% over the past year, despite the company reporting a strong annual revenue of $5.23 billion and net income of $397.5 million. The stock currently trades near $80.07, slightly below the consensus fair value estimate of $81.50. Analysts cite concerns over higher commercial auto reserve risks and slower premium growth, which have led to a downward revision of the price target to $81.50. Although SIGI shows positive revenue and earnings growth, momentum has faded recently. Investors should weigh these risks against the company's fundamentals and growth outlook when evaluating the stock's valuation.
