  • Is Progressive (PGR) Stock Undervalued Despite Recent Weakness?
    March 21, 2026, 8:58 AM EDT. Progressive's shares have slipped 19.6% over the past year yet remain up 60.6% over three years. The stock trades near $206, modestly up recently but down year-to-date. Using an Excess Returns model, which measures profits above shareholder-required returns, Progressive is valued at about $443 per share, suggesting a 53.5% undervaluation. This model incorporates book value, earnings per share, and return on equity. The price-to-earnings ratio near 10.67x aligns with the insurance industry average, indicating pricing reflects typical sector risks and growth. Despite short-term softness, Progressive's valuation metrics imply significant value, contrasting with peers. Investors should watch how projected returns and sector conditions recalibrate expectations for this major U.S. insurer.
