Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on The Hanover Insurance Group (NYSE: THG) price target of $37.00 (from $41.00).
Analyst, Sarah DeWitt, said, "We lower our 2012 EPS estimate for THG to $2.80 from $3.20 and our 2013 EPS estimate to $3.50 from $3.75...THG's ROE is expected to remain below its cost of capital and the potential for further reserve strengthening is a risk. Also, THG's acquisition of Chaucer increases its exposure to high severity business and expands THG's business outside its core operations. That said, THG trades at 0.57x 2Q12 BV, in line with its historical low."
