Daily closes. Earnings/event dots are placed inline.
Industries move in repeating boom-and-bust cycles. This shows where this stock’s industry sits in that cycle, stage by stage (recovery → expansion → supercycle → steady → deceleration → contraction), from its fundamentals (orders, revenue, capital spending), not the stock’s price.
A booming industry is a tailwind for the names in it; a contracting one is a headwind. Companies in the same industry tend to rise and fall together with the cycle, the way a tide lifts and lowers every boat in the harbor at once, so a large part of a stock’s swing can come from where its industry sits rather than from the company itself. It’s context for reading the company’s results, not a buy/sell call. Full explanation →
Property & Casualty Insurance is in steady. Describes the industry's cycle state, not a call on this stock.
The stage band shows the industry’s cycle over the chart’s timeline (each color a stage); a ▼ marks a quarter its growth inflected down — amber is an unconfirmed watch, red is confirmed the next quarter. Use “Overlay cycle on chart” to tint the price chart by stage. The industry’s fundamentals, not a signal on this stock.
Primary pillar under pressure — Combined ratio improves to about 93.8% or better: Comparison needs review.

View ValuationModerate volatility — typically moves about 1% a day.
View RiskSIGI’s bet is disciplined underwriting that sustains earnings as revenue growth slows. Revenue fell 2% year over year in Q3 2026. That quarter’s non-GAAP earnings beat consensus by 24.1%. SIGI trades at 1.7× book value versus peers’ 1.8× median. The price reflects less growth than our forecast. A 20% next-quarter miss probability puts earnings delivery at risk. The combined-ratio comparison needs review, so the pillar remains unverified. Peer multiples imply a price about 8% above where it trades. The thesis is on watch. This read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-10-29. SIGI is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).

A consensus fair price across 13 valuation methods, at three horizons. As of 2026-10-29. Estimates are diagnostics, not price targets. Short-horizon estimates are close to coin-flips, so confidence is a method-agreement read, not a prediction.
Today's peer multiple on trailing earnings, with no growth credited. This is the headline read.
Adds projected growth, so it leans optimistic by design. Read it as upside context, not a base case.

Top 25% on quality vs scored peers
A second lens on the 12-month fair value: for companies that score high on measured quality (profitability, balance-sheet safety, earnings stability), this read trusts more of today's profit margins instead of averaging them toward their multi-year history the way the headline number does. Shown alongside the fair value above, not in place of it. A diagnostic, not a price target or a buy/sell signal.
Direction of the business behind the multiple. Bands are backend reads; trailing-12-month basis.
Higher 2026 investment-income outlook and a defined combined-ratio range support earnings and disciplined underwriting.
Threatens: Increase revenue growth
Slower growth and margin pressure directly impact revenue growth objective.
