Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $Hartford Financial Services (HIG.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
It is anticipated that the third quarter's global catastrophe events will result in 'manageable' catastrophe losses for property and casualty insurers. As a proactive measure, 'placeholder' losses have been incorporated into the fourth quarter models in anticipation of the impact from Hurricane Milton, although there is still uncertainty following its recent landfall. Changes in the sector's outlook reflect the events of the quarter alongside adjustments in various P/E multiples.
The fundamental outlook for the property and casualty sector is viewed positively going into the Q3 reports. Despite this optimism and the sector's defensive risk profile, there is a temperance in views on stocks due to bullish sentiment and valuations. Firm pricing and the sector's defensive stance are considered key advantages, although the expectations for margins at underwriters and sales growth at brokers may be on the higher side.
The third-quarter outcomes, especially for reinsurers, might be eclipsed by the recent Hurricane Milton, according to an analyst. There is a positive outlook on the Personal segment due to improved margins and an increase in policies-in-force. For the third quarter, catastrophe losses are anticipated to be lower than the five-year seasonal average, yet still significantly higher than in the same quarter of the previous year, which may present challenges for primary insurers.

預計第三季度全球災難事件將對財產和意外傷害保險公司產生「可控」的災難損失。作爲積極措施，「佔位符」損失已納入第四季度模型中，以預料颶風米爾頓的影響，儘管其最近的登陸仍存在不確定性。該板塊前景的變化反映了本季度的事件以及各種市盈率的調整。
進入第三季度報告，對財產和意外傷害板塊的基本前景持積極態度。儘管存在樂觀情緒和該板塊防禦性風險配置，但對股票的看好情緒和估值持謹慎態度。堅定的定價和該板塊的防禦性立場被認爲是關鍵優勢，儘管保險人的預期利潤率和經紀人的銷售增長率可能偏高。
據分析師稱，最近的颶風米爾頓可能使第三季度的結果，特別是再保險商的結果黯然失色。由於毛利率提升和在保單實行數上的增加，對個人業務板塊持積極態度。預計第三季度的災難損失將低於五年季節性平均水平，但仍明顯高於前一年同季度，這可能給主要承保人帶來挑戰。
