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.

此外，综合报道，$哈特福德金融 (HIG.US)$近期主要分析师观点如下：
预计第三季度全球灾难事件将导致财产和意外伤害保险公司承受“可以管理”的灾难损失。作为一项积极的措施，“占位符”损失已纳入第四季度模型，以预期从飓风米尔顿造成的影响，尽管其最近登陆后仍存在不确定性。板块前景的变化反映了本季度事件以及各种市盈率的调整。
进入第三季度报告，财产和意外伤害板块的基本前景被视为积极的。尽管存在乐观情绪和板块的防御性风险配置，但由于看好情绪和股价估值，对股票持有观点有所节制。坚实的定价和板块的防御性态度被认为是关键优势，尽管承保商的利润预期和经纪人的销售增长预期可能偏高。
据一位分析师称，第三季度的结果，特别是再保险商，可能会被最近的飓风米尔顿所掩盖。由于较高的利润率和在途保单数增加，个人分部的前景是积极的。对于第三季度，灾难性损失预计将低于五年季节平均水平，但仍明显高于去年同一季度，这可能给主要保险商带来挑战。
