Earnings Summary
Progressive Corporation is a U.S. insurer that focuses on personal and commercial auto coverage, offering policies through independent agencies, online platforms, and direct phone sales, and has been a long‑standing player in the property & casualty sector since 1937. In the most recent two quarters, Progressive posted revenue of $18.105 billion in Q4 2024 and $22.206 billion in Q1 2025, a 22.6% year‑over‑year increase, while EPS rose from $4.08 in Q4 2024 to $4.65 in Q1 2025, reflecting a 14.6% improvement; however, the company missed EPS estimates in Q1 2025 (4.75 expected vs 4.65 actual) after beating them in Q4 2024. Historically, Progressive has delivered double‑digit revenue growth each year, with EPS growth lagging slightly behind revenue in recent periods; the company has consistently beat revenue estimates in the last four quarters but has experienced a mix of EPS beats and misses, indicating earnings volatility amid pricing pressures. Recent news highlights that Progressive is facing auto‑insurance pressures, as noted by Zacks analysts, and that the company’s Q3 earnings are pending, suggesting that market participants are awaiting further clarification on its profitability trajectory. The upcoming guidance will be key to understanding how Progressive plans to navigate the competitive auto‑insurance landscape and whether it can maintain its multi‑channel distribution advantage.

The trend on PGR is bearish, and its momentum ranks in the lower part of DailyIQ's universe. Earnings and guidance carry more weight than macro data at this capitalisation.

Behaviour On Record

What PGR's own history says about today's numbers

vs 200-day average
+7.7%
Up days (1y)
53%

The Progressive Corporation is currently running 21.6% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against PGR's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 55th percentile — close to its own typical level, against a typical reading of 20.7%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

PGR is trading -22.8% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -16.0%, and the deepest was -29.9% in 2025. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began — and where past declines also continued.

Price sits +7.7% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 52nd percentile — close to the gap it normally carries. Over the past year PGR closed higher on 53% of sessions, and it is currently 3 sessions into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 14 years of records, PGR finished the month higher 7 of 14 times, with a median return of +0.3% and an average of +0.7%. Its strongest month historically has been February at +4.4% on average, its weakest July at -0.6%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: PGR has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 91 of 3,268 sessions (2.8% of the time), with the largest gaps running +5.4% and -13.3%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

All figures computed from 3,269 daily closes between 2013-10-15 and 2026-10-14, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against PGR's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
