Employers Holdings Faces Headwinds Despite Recent Rally
Employers Holdings has returned 13.4% over the past six months, outpacing the S&P 500 by 6.1%, but analysts at StockStory see reasons to sell. Net premiums earned grew at just a 1.7% annualized rate over the last two years, signaling soft demand. Earnings per share declined by 29.6% annually over the past five years even as revenue rose 2.9%, indicating deteriorating profitability. The stock trades at 1× forward price-to-book, which the analysts believe already prices in good news, and they recommend a dominant aerospace business as a better alternative.
