Model update: remain Neutral

We are updating our HIG model to reflect Q1 results, profitability trends and detailed commentary from management. As a result, our FY18 EPS forecast increases by 5.5% as the lower catastrophes from Q1 and improved underlying combined ratio flow through. We have also increased our FY19 EPS and FY20 EPS forecasts by ~1% given the improved profitability in Personal Auto, which appears sustainable. Given the relatively modest adjustments to our forecasts we have kept our price target at $56 and we retain our Neutral recommendation.
