Cincinnati Financial Corporation

Cinncinati Financial Corporation was founded in 1968, and quickly became one of the 20 largest casualty insurance companies in the U.S. admidst a large field of competitors. It strove to become global, particularly in England and former commonwealth countries, growing so fast as to have significant intrinsic value.

Researchers are generally favorable but analysts are reserved and their stock price projections are lower. The company had an earnings drop in 2017 which pushed its average to current p/e ratio below 1.0, a rare situation today among American corporations. The suggestion is that earnings power is greater than suspected.

Ratios look good financially, but the corporation has an unacceptably-low Zenith Index, and a rather complex management reporting in standard SEC format.

There was some significant insider buying activity a few months back, but overall insiders are selling. The company has a portfolio of stock market investments which apparently have not been doing as well as expected in the current market.

News for this company consists mainly of a flood of "helpful hints" articles produced by the company's public relations effots related to protecting property and thus reducing insurance incidents.

The stock still shows positive overall sentiment but has been trending down for the last three months of 2019, only to shoot back up again on prospects for the New Year. Insurance companies in general have been performing well as a group in the stock market. This is despite a number of tragedies related to weather and brush fires.

Channeling Potential

 
The summary below includes a value for `Degree,' which refers on a
scale of 1 to 10 the range of a channel in the period under consi-
deration compared to the total range of price movement. It also looks
for the last closing price to be within the channel, otherwise zeroed.
The `Index' is the `Degree' weighted for volatility.  Generally, the
the higher the index, the more suitable is the stock for trading as
a `rolling stock' between channel high and low points.

Neural Network Prediction

"Neurostock" can only track long trades. Therefore its performance, as tracked by itself on stocks which are consistently falling, may not appear as good as it could if each "sell" signal were a "short sale."
