The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc.
The Hartford delivered a strong second quarter with $945 million in core earnings and an 18.7% trailing ROE, beating EPS estimates by 8.2% and revenue estimates by 1.3%. The standout strategic move was the divestiture of Hartford Funds to Wellington Management, monetizing a non-core asset and freeing capital for an expanded $4.2 billion share repurchase authorization through 2028. Net investment income surged 22% year over year to $800 million, driven by limited partnership returns. Small commercial premium growth of 7% outpaced the market, supported by AI-enabled underwriting and continued agency channel expansion to 23 states. Pressure points include personal lines pricing headwinds, elevated disability loss ratios, and higher reserves in general liability and commercial auto.
