86

out of 100

Cincinnati Financial Corp earns a fundamental-quality score of 86 out of 100, profiling it as a company with solid fundamentals. Its score rests mainly on its financial strength (FCF margin 23.2%).

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.
