As reported earlier, RBC Capital analyst Mark Dwelle downgraded Travelers to Sector Perform from Outperform and lowered his price target to $133 from $143. The analyst expects the company to be "increasingly be pressured by weaker-than-anticipated pricing, a slower economy, and adverse loss trends in economically sensitive lines like workers' compensation." Dwelle also sees higher catastrophe losses, mainly related to California wildfires, to weigh on its earnings, lowering his FY19 EPS view to $10.65 from $10.75.
