Hanover Insurance beats Q3 estimates as combined ratio improves to 92.3%
Question
Hanover Insurance beats Q3 estimates as combined ratio improves to 92.3%
Direct answer
The Hanover Insurance Group released third-quarter 2026 results that beat consensus metrics on both underwriting margin and bottom-line earnings. Revenue increased 4.5% year-over-year to $1.75 billion, while EPS grew to $5.15. Underwriting discipline drove the positive divergence. The property-casualty insurer posted a GAAP combined ratio of 92.3%, well ahead of the 93.8% Wall Street projection. Reduced catastrophe frequency and commercial line premium re-pricing lowered the loss and LAE ratio to 61.4% against expectations of 63.2%. — bullish pressure on THG.
