Valued at $37.3 billion by market cap, Connecticut-based The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc. (HIG) provides insurance and financial services to individuals and businesses in the United States, the United Kingdom, and internationally.
Companies worth $10 billion or more are generally described as “large-cap stocks.” Hartford fits right into that category, with its market cap exceeding this threshold, reflecting its substantial size, influence, and dominance in the insurance industry.
The stock touched its all-time high of $135.17 on Sep. 4, and is currently trading 2% below that peak. Meanwhile, HIG has gained nearly 5% over the past three months, slightly lagging behind the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund’s (XLF) 5.5% returns during the same time frame.
Over the longer term, Hartford’s performance has remained mixed. HIG stock has shot up 21.1% in 2025 and 15.1% over the past 52 weeks, significantly outperforming XLF’s 11.3% gains in 2025 but lagging behind its 21.2% surge over the past year.
HIG has traded mostly above its 200-day moving average over the past year, with some fluctuations, and above its 50-day moving average since early August, underscoring its bullish trend.
Hartford Insurance’s stock prices gained 2.8% in the trading session following the release of its impressive Q2 results on Jul. 28. The company has continued to expand its market presence and made strategic investments to capitalize on profitable opportunities. Continuing its solid momentum, Hartford registered solid growth in premium collections, leading to a 7.7% year-over-year growth in revenues to approximately $7 billion, surpassing Street expectations. Moreover, its core earnings per share surged 36.4% year-over-year to $3.41, exceeding the consensus estimates by 23.1%.
Despite its solid returns, Hartford has lagged behind its peer, W. R. Berkley Corporation’s (WRB) 26.1% surge in 2025 and 27.8% gains over the past 52 weeks.
Hartford maintains a consensus “Moderate Buy” rating among the 23 analysts covering the stock. Its mean price target of $139.15 suggests a modest 5% upside potential from current price levels.
