Neutral

Reason

JPMorgan lowered the firm's price target on Goosehead Insurance to $80 from $85 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. The firm adjusted targets in the property and casualty insurance sector as part of its 2026 outlook. While fundamentals in the P&C sector "are getting more challenging," pricing, margin, and growth headwinds "seem better reflected in sentiment and valuation levels," the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Reason

BMO Capital lowered the firm's price target on Goosehead Insurance to $79 from $110 and keeps a Market Perform rating on the shares. The firm believes that the increased competition in home/auto in Texas still presents a risk to Goosehead for at least another two quarters, and while the quote-to-issue "digital agent" launch could set up a potential hockey-stick-like recovery for 2027, continued revenue misses from elevated shopping levels and retention hiccups are possible, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
