American Financial Group: Another Mixed Quarter (Rating Downgrade)
AFG's recent results were mixed, with weaker underwriting and disappointing alternative investment returns, leading me to downgrade my rating to 'hold.' Premium inflation is decelerating, likely signaling peak margins for the insurance sector and making it harder for AFG to improve its combined ratio. Investment income from fixed income remains solid, but alternative returns and rental growth are muted, and a key asset sale fell through, limiting upside.
