Keefe, Bruyette &amp; Woods analyst Meyer Shields upgraded the rating on the shares of Travelers Companies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRV#NYSE">TRV</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TRV/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">from Market Perform to Outperform</a> and raised the price forecast from $275 to $286.
The analyst&#8217;s GAAP reserve analysis for year-end 2024 suggests that TRV&#8217;s GAAP loss and ALAE reserves were overestimated by approximately $1.388 billion (compared to $324 million at YE23E).
This primarily reflects excess reserves in workers&#8217; compensation, personal lines, and fidelity and surety, which exceeded the deficiencies in general liability, particularly within the Bond &amp; Specialty sector.
TRV&#8217;s reserve development for the 2024 calendar year was mainly driven by substantial releases in workers&#8217; compensation and personal lines (across all reported accident years), along with strong releases in fidelity and surety (for all accident years except 2023).
These were partially counterbalanced by reserve increases in the BI segment&#8217;s general liability and commercial multi-peril for the most recent accident years, said the analyst.
After TRV&#8217;s significant general liability reserve increase, the analyst&#8217;s main concern was that its substantial workers&#8217; compensation reserve releases might slow down. While this still seems plausible, the analyst is more optimistic about the current reserve &#8220;cushion.&#8221;
There are notable differences between the general liability portfolios of the Business Insurance and Bond &amp; Specialty segments. The analyst understands that the latter has more claims-made policies with shorter tails, which is why its paid claims converge more quickly to ultimate incurred amounts.
The analyst is slightly concerned that TRV&#8217;s release of 2023 commercial auto reserves aligns with its strengthening of accident years 2021-2022 for the same line.
However, the ratios of paid to incurred losses for recent accident years are at or near long-term lows, and the IBNR-to-total-reserve ratios are at or near long-term highs, which gives confidence in the segment&#8217;s reserves despite the continued social inflation.
The analyst raise 2025E/2026E reserve releases to $392 million/$292 million from $315 million/$199 million, which boosts 2025E/2026E EPS to $19.30/$24.90 from $19.05/$24.60.
The analyst notes TRV&#8217;s scale and analytical advantages make it a valuable long-term holding for investors but expects increasing earnings volatility and declining reserve releases to limit near-term upside.
Price Action: TRV shares are trading higher by 1.56% at $242.12 at the last check Wednesday.

<h3>A Look at Travelers Companies P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 16.81 in the Insurance industry, Travelers Companies Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 11.1. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1739889917_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Travelers Companies 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

The Travelers Companies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRV#NYSE">TRV</a>) announced Tuesday that it expects $1.7 billion in pretax catastrophe losses from the California wildfires that swept through the state in January. After taxes, the estimated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TRV/news">loss amounts to $1.3 billion</a>.
The insurer said the estimate includes losses from its personal and commercial segments, as well as assessments from the California FAIR Plan, the state's insurer of last resort. Recoveries from reinsurance have been factored into the estimate.
Analysts have projected that total industry losses from the wildfires could reach $30 billion. Other insurers are also reporting significant impacts. Last week, Allstate said it expects about $1.1 billion in pretax catastrophe losses from the fires, net of reinsurance.
Travelers&#8217; announcement follows a challenging period for insurers operating in California, where wildfire risk has led several companies to scale back coverage or raise premiums. The FAIR Plan, which provides limited fire insurance for homeowners unable to get coverage elsewhere, can require insurers to help fund claims.
Travelers said it is actively working to process claims and assist affected policyholders. CEO Alan Schnitzer acknowledged the scale of the disaster, noting the company&#8217;s commitment to supporting customers and communities impacted by the fires.
