Travelers is a buy based on strong earnings momentum and discounted valuation. Diluted EPS nearly doubled from $14.49 in 2021 to $27.43 in 2025, while the stock trades at a 14% discount to the peer median P/E (8.67 vs. 10.11) and a 21% discount on P/S. The price remains above both the 50-day and 200-day moving averages, confirming an intact uptrend, and the MACD is bullish.
