Description: THG The Hanover Insurance January 09, 2026
The Hanover Insurance Group (NYSE:THG) writes a broad range of U.S. property-and-casualty products through four operating segments-Core Commercial, Specialty, Personal Lines, and Other-selling via independent agents and brokers. Its commercial portfolio includes multiple-peril, workers’ compensation, and auto coverages, while the Specialty segment focuses on excess & surplus lines, industrial and general liability programs. Personal Lines deliver auto, homeowners, umbrella, inland-marine, cyber, and other niche coverages.
As of the most recent fiscal quarter, THG reported a combined ratio of 94.1%, indicating underwriting profitability, and generated $1.2 billion in net written premiums, up 5% year-over-year. The company’s earnings per share (EPS) rose 12% to $5.31, driven by a 3% increase in investment income as higher interest rates lifted the yield on its fixed-income portfolio. Key sector drivers include the cyclical nature of P&C pricing, rising climate-related loss exposure, and the sensitivity of investment income to the Federal Reserve’s rate policy.
