Loews: Risk Confirmed In 1Q26

Summary Loews remains a "Hold," with a raised price target of $84/share, reflecting persistent overvaluation and heightened risk in its core insurance subsidiary CNA. CNA's deteriorating underwriting, evidenced by a combined ratio above 102%, signals structural challenges and justifies a continued valuation discount for L. Despite solid performance in non-insurance segments, L's low yield (<0.25%) and reliance on buybacks limit total return appeal versus peers. The Loews discount is warranted given muted growth, weak dividend policy, and historical underperformance relative to market benchmarks. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Loews Corporation: CNA Headwinds May Finally Force A Top Shortly

Summary Initially rated Loews Corporation a BUY in October 2020 due to bullish technical trends, undervaluation, and growing profitability; shares have returned 140%+ since then. Downgraded to 'Hold' in January 2023 as valuation had caught up to price; shares still gained 42%+ over the past 22+ months. Loews is not recession-proof; potential short opportunity if a bearish MACD crossover and overbought death-cross occur. CNA Financial faces climate change and inflation headwinds, impacting growth; higher premiums may affect customer affordability and future profitability. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Loews: Changing My Mind And Raising My Price Target

Summary Loews Corporation has a unique business model with strong fundamentals, conservative fiscal management, and significant shareholder value through debt reduction and share buybacks. Despite its cyclical industry exposure, Loews' subsidiaries like CNA, Boardwalk, and Altium present undervalued opportunities, especially if the stock drops below $80/share. The company's dividend yield remains low, but its overall shareholder yield, including buybacks and debt repayment, is appealing, making it a potential buy at the right price. I recommend a "Hold" on Loews stock at its current valuation of $86/share, but would consider it a "Buy" if it drops to around $80/share. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Loews: Not Exactly Impressive Performance, I Say 'Hold'

Summary Loews manages volatile segments well, with strong cash flows and a history of share buybacks, but remains overvalued for investment. Loews Corp. has maintained a "Hold" stance, slightly outperforming the S&P 500 due to recent market trends. The company reported 2Q24 results, showing stability but lacking attractiveness for investment compared to other options. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Loews: An Update For 2024, Still Hold

Summary Loews has performed well but has underperformed the S&P 500 and my portfolio. I do not view Loews as an attractive investment due to its low yield and subpar returns. I believe that Loews is overvalued and recommends a "HOLD" stance until the stock price drops below $50/share. I currently do not view this as a good entry. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
