Shares of property casualty insurer Cincinnati Financial (NASDAQ:CINF) jumped 4.6% in the morning session after the company reported second-quarter results that significantly exceeded analyst expectations, driven by strong underwriting improvements and robust investment income. The company posted adjusted earnings of $1.97 per share, easily beating the analyst consensus of $1.41. Revenue also impressed, reaching $3.25 billion, which was well above the estimated $2.53 billion. A key metric for insurers, the property and casualty combined ratio, improved to 94.9% from 98.5% a year earlier. A combined ratio below 100% indicates an underwriting profit, so a lower number is better. This strong performance, which also included an 18% rise in investment income, occurred despite the company facing higher catastrophe-related losses during the quarter.
