9 Red Days In A Row: Hartford Insurance Stock Is Down 9.7%
A nine-day slide has erased billions in value. Revenue growth trails the sector median, while the stock trades below its sector’s median earnings multiple.
A nine-day losing streak in Hartford Insurance (HIG) stock has erased about $3.7 billion from the company’s market value. The persistent selling has driven a cumulative loss of 9.7% over that period, leaving the company’s market capitalization at about $34 billion.
For any investor holding the stock, this kind of consistent move in one direction forces a fresh look at the company’s standing.
HIG Versus The S&P 500, Streak And Beyond
Here is how HIG stock stacks up against the S&P 500 over the streak and the periods around it:
| Return Period | HIG | S&P 500 |
|---|---|---|
| 1D | -1.2% | 0.5% |
| 9D (Current Streak) | -9.7% | 1.6% |
| 1M (21D) | -10.8% | 0.9% |
| 3M (63D) | -6.8% | 5.3% |
| YTD 2026 | -8.6% | 13.1% |
| 2025 | 28.1% | 16.4% |
| 2024 | 38.5% | 23.3% |
| 2023 | 8.5% | 24.2% |
What do the fundamentals show?
The recent decline is not a reflection of the broader market. Over the same 9 trading days, the S&P 500 returned +1.6%. While such streaks are not unique, with 3 other S&P 500 stocks on similar or longer losing streaks, the company’s own data provides context. The sources available do not show why this move happened.
On a fundamental level, the picture against peers is mixed. Revenue over the last twelve months grew 6.1%, which is below the 10.2% median for S&P 500 Financials stocks. The stock trades at a price-to-earnings multiple of 7.8, below the median of 13.5 among its sector peers.
Hartford Insurance stock trades at about $124.23 a share as of 9/25/2026.
A streak is a signal, not a command.
A long streak is information. It tells you that the stock has momentum and that the market is paying attention. It is not, by itself, an instruction to buy or sell. The disciplined response is to use the moment to check if the business fundamentals still justify the stock’s price.
The price has changed, creating a new entry point or a new decision for current holders. The numbers here offer a place to begin that work, weighing the company’s performance against its new, lower valuation.
If the drop has you weighing an entry, resist buying on price alone. Our Buy the Dip screen ranks the marked-down names where growth and cash generation still hold up.
And for anyone who would rather back the theme than one company’s story, our ETF Scorecard shows how the financial funds stack up. Any one of those funds is still a concentrated bet on that one theme, though, which is exactly the gap the portfolio below closes.
Falling Prices Test Conviction. Rules Do Not Flinch
A losing streak forces a choice on every holder: sell into weakness, average down, or freeze. All three are emotional answers to what should be an analytical question, and decisions made that way tend to be expensive ones.
The Trefis High Quality (HQ) Portfolio takes the emotion out: about 30 quality businesses screened for the fundamentals that survive bad stretches, held and rebalanced by rules. It has a track record of outpacing a benchmark that combines the three major indices – the S&P 500, S&P Mid-cap, and Russell 2000. Let the rules decide, not the tape.
