Citi upgrades Safeco Corp (NYSE: SAF) from Sell to Hold.
Citi analyst says, "Safeco has made substantial improvements to its market segmentation, product design and product delivery in its core property/casualty insurance businesses, which have manifested themselves in significant earnings improvement. However, competitive pressures have come to bear on top-line growth and, we expect, will combine with some escalation in auto claims costs to cause moderate margin erosion over the next 12 months. We view the shares as fully priced pending the Liberty Mutual acquisition."
Safeco Corporation (Safeco) is an insurance holding company.[SM]
