The company's profit more than doubled to $685 million, with adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.97, surpassing analyst estimates by $0.58. This performance was driven by a 15% increase in earned premiums to $2.5 billion and a surge in investment income, up 18% to $285 million, due to higher bond yields.Looking ahead, analysts expect CINF's adjusted EPS to decline by 22.6% year-over-year (YoY) to $5.87 for the fiscal year ending in December 2025. Despite this expected decline, the consensus rating for the stock remains a "Moderate Buy," with a mean price target of $162, representing a 5.7% premium to the current price. Among the 10 analysts covering the stock, three have given it a "Strong Buy" rating, one a "Moderate Buy," and six a "Hold."
