Warner Bros. $WBD ( ▲ 1.64% ) is rebooting its favorite franchise: corporate chaos. After the AOL disaster, the AT&T detour, and the “Max” misfire, CEO David Zaslav is reportedly looking to sell — again.

At a certain point, every franchise just starts recycling old ideas in new packaging. Is the same true for the factory behind them? If history’s any guide, this sequel may end like every other installment — overbudget, overhyped, and underwhelming.

Plus, an attractive opportunity in a “minefield for investors”? Scroll down for more.

Progressive $PGR ( ▼ 0.38% ) has hit a rough patch. But long-term investors may want to stay buckled in.

The No. 2 US auto insurer saw its shares slide more than 20% from April highs after a mild earnings miss and slower growth. But now some analysts say the pullback looks overdone for a company with decades of outperformance.

In fact, T. Rowe Price’s Greg Locraft calls Progressive “the best-run auto and homeowner’s insurer” in the US.

The insurer grew auto policies in force 15% year over year in September, down from 20% earlier this year, while falling auto insurance premiums signaled potential margin pressure ahead.

Still, Progressive’s long-term fundamentals remain strong. The stock trades at just 12x expected 2025 earnings of nearly $18 a share — well below its 10-year average of 16x and the S&P 500’s 22x.

Progressive’s edge: its data-driven pricing and direct-to-consumer model. Its telematics platform allows real-time driving data to shape policy rates, while its local underwriting flexibility keeps pricing competitive. The result: a 12% underwriting profit margin last year — about 7.5 points higher than the industry average.

Since 2019, Progressive’s auto policies are up 75%, while rival Geico’s are down about 10%. That performance gap shows just how far ahead Progressive’s tech advantage has grown.

Despite near-term margin compression, analysts see plenty of upside. Raymond James’ Greg Peters maintained an Outperform rating and $265 target, implying 25% upside from today’s close.

With a 17% market share and room to grow, a steady dividend plus special payouts, and one of the best track records in finance, some on Wall Street say Progressive’s latest skid isn’t a waving red flag, but rather, a flashing buy signal.
