The structural profiles are close, with The Progressive carrying a narrow edge on stability. Hiscox still has the edge on profitability, which keeps the comparison from looking entirely one-sided. In the market, Hiscox carries the stronger setup — intact trend against The Progressive's broken trend. That leaves a split case: the structural lead stays with The Progressive, but the market is not currently confirming it.
The comparison is based on similar long-term financial trajectories, not sector labels. Peer scores are normalised within each company's primary universe (HSX.L: STOXX 600, PGR: Russell 1000).
The lead runs through stability, while profitability still acts as a real counterweight on the other side.
Both operate in: Insurance - Property & Casualty
This comparison is based on industry proximity, not on functional trajectory similarity. HSX.L and PGR share the same industry classification.
For a similarity-based comparison, see how Hiscox and The Progressive each position within their functional peer groups in AssetNext.
Scores reflect position relative to comparable companies with similar long-term financial trajectories.
The clearest separation appears in stability.
Left means cheaper relative valuation. Higher means stronger structure.
The Progressive Corporation and Hiscox Ltd look relatively close on structure, but the price setup still leans toward The Progressive Corporation.
Valuation position uses peer-relative PE percentile (idx_pct_pe) where available.
The clearest distance comes from a steadier profile over time.
Capital efficiency also runs the other way, with a 13.3-point ROIC edge acting as a real counterforce.
Stability is the clearest driver of the lead, with profitability adding further support — though profitability still provides a real counterweight.

Rule-based, descriptive analysis only. Derived from peer percentile dimensions. Not investment advice. Peer groups are determined algorithmically based on structural similarity — not by sector classification alone.
AssetNext scores reflect each company's structural position within its functional peer group — not a ranking against all stocks simultaneously. Peers are identified by similarity across eight financial dimensions, including revenue growth trajectory, margin structure, capital intensity, and earnings stability. A score of 75 means the company ranks in the top quartile within its own peer group, not the entire market.
Four dimension scores drive the overall peer score: Growth (revenue trajectory and expansion dynamics), Quality (margin structure and capital efficiency), Valuation (peer-relative pricing on standard multiples), and Stability (earnings consistency and financial predictability). Each dimension is scored 0–100 relative to the peer group, then combined into an overall peer score using equal weighting.
Because scores are peer-relative, the same company can have slightly different scores in different index universes. On comparison pages, both companies are shown within their shared peer universe wherever possible — so the scores are directly comparable. The peer basis is stated on each score card.
Scores are recalculated periodically as underlying financial data is updated. All analysis is descriptive and rule-based — AssetNext describes structural realities and never issues buy, sell or hold recommendations.
