Why Selective Insurance Group (SIGI) Stock Is Trading Lower TodayShares of property and casualty insurer Selective Insurance Group (
NASDAQ:SIGI) fell 19% in the afternoon session after the company reported second-quarter financial results that missed Wall Street's profit expectations. The property and casualty insurer posted earnings of $1.31 per share, falling short of analyst consensus estimates. A key factor behind the earnings miss was the company's combined ratio, which came in at 100.2%. A combined ratio above 100% indicates that an insurer paid out more in claims and expenses than it collected in premiums, resulting in an underwriting loss.

The disappointing quarterly performance led the stock to trade down to a new 52-week low.
