CINF · Nasdaq · Financial

Fundamental quality

EXCELLENT

90

out of 100

Cincinnati Financial Corp fits the profile of a quality compounder: it pairs high return on capital (ROE 20%) with wide margins (net margin 23.8%) and a business that keeps growing (11.9% a year). On fundamental quality it scores 90 out of 100, profiling it as a company with solid fundamentals. Its weakest area is its growth (revenue +11.9%/yr). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.

What the company does

Cincinnati Financial is the property insurer of quiet America: commercial and home policies sold only through local independent agents, with whom it cultivates decades-long relationships. More than sixty years of dividend raises, one of the longest records on the entire market.

What will shape its future

  • Its independent-agent network, the loyal channel that is its moat.
  • Catastrophes and claims inflation, its underwriting's enemies.
  • Its unusually large stock portfolio, tying its book value to the market.
