CNA Financial Corporation: For The Dividend Investor This Is A Great Pick
Thursday Jul 20 2023 at 19:42
CNA Financial Corporation’s share price has dropped since its last quarterly report, but its low p/e and p/b ratios make it an attractive dividend addition to an income portfolio. The company’s operations span internationally, and its core ROE was at 10.8% in 2023, with its Commercial segment showing a 19% YoY increase in net written premium. Despite the risk of catastrophe losses, CNA’s prudent management has kept its combined ratio below the 10-year average for Q1, and its dividend payout ratio is a reasonable 41%.
