As previously reported, Credit Suisse analyst Michael Zaremsk upgraded Cincinnati Financial (CINF) to Neutral from Underperform due to stronger-than-appreciated P&C pricing power relative to large-cap peers Travelers (TRV) and Chubb (CB), lower forecast non-catastrophe weather losses in 2019, and less exposure to workers' compensation business, for which he forecasts underlying margin deterioration through 2020 due to mandated pricing decreases. The analyst also raised his price target on Cincinnati Financial's shares to $90 from $75.
