<p><strong>Progressive Corp</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PGR#NYSE">PGR</a>) shares are trading lower by 4.4% to $244.06 Monday afternoon. Shares of insurance companies are trading lower while <strong>Floridians</strong> <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41209505/hurricane-milton-is-floridas-second-storm-in-two-weeks-how-disney-theme-parks-insurance-companie">experience evacuation orders</a> as Category 5 <strong>Hurricane Milton</strong> approaches the state. The region is still recovering from damage due to <strong>Hurricane Helene</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>What To Know:</strong> The potential for back-to-back hurricanes in such a short time span has raised concerns over escalating insurance claims, which could significantly impact Progressive's financial performance in the upcoming quarter.</p>
<p>As one of the largest auto insurers in the U.S., Progressive has exposure to weather conditinos in Florida. The company offers a range of policies, including automobile, homeowner, and commercial insurance.</p>
<p><strong>What Else: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/10/41214476/will-kamala-harriss-media-blitz-including-60-minutes-and-call-her-daddy-improve-her-2024-el">Will Kamala Harris&#8217;s Media Blitz, Including &#8217;60 Minutes&#8217; And &#8216;Call Her Daddy,&#8217; Improve Her 2024 Election Prospects?</a></strong></p>
<p>With Hurricane Milton forecasted to make landfall as a Category 4 or 5 storm, the potential for widespread damage—including flooding, wind damage and storm surge—has investors worried about the number of claims that could emerge. </p>
<p>Milton&#8217;s size and trajectory suggest it could cause even more destruction than Helene, threatening property, infrastructure, and vehicles across a large portion of Florida.</p>
<p><strong>What Else:</strong> Progressive, which has been a strong performer in the property and casualty insurance sector, faces the risk of a surge in auto claims. Florida is a key market for the company, and major hurricanes typically result in substantial damage to vehicles due to flooding and flying debris.</p>
<p>In the wake of Milton, Progressive may see a significant uptick in claims related to auto damage and wrecked vehicles, as well as property claims from homeowners affected by the storm.</p>

<p>When Hurricane Helene hit less than two weeks ago, initial assessments suggested that insurance losses would be manageable. However, with Milton now expected to hit harder and affect a broader area, Progressive could be bracing for much higher claim volumes than originally anticipated. </p>
<p>The combination of claims from both storms could place significant pressure on the company&#8217;s underwriting profitability for the remainder of the year.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy PGR Stock</h2>
<p>Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. </p>
<p>For example, in Progressive&#8217;s case, it is in the Financials sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.</p>
<p>According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, PGR has a 52-week high of $260.46 and a 52-week low of $141.84.</p>

<p>When you <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40378006/exactly-how-much-money-do-you-need-to-be-rich-heres-a-look-at-the-numbers">hear the word "rich,"</a> your mind probably conjures images of luxury – sleek cars, sprawling mansions, and a life of indulgence. But being rich on paper doesn't always mean you're really rich. You can have a high income or flashy assets but still not be considered truly wealthy.</p>
<p>In the U.S., defining the difference between being "rich" and "really rich" (aka "wealthy") is far from straightforward. The numbers are important, but the mindset and lifestyle that come with them are just as critical.</p>

</ul>
<p><strong>Rich vs. Really Rich: The Key Difference</strong></p>
<p>Simply put, being rich usually means you have a high income, but being really rich or wealthy means you've accumulated enough assets and net worth to sustain your lifestyle without relying on your job. In short, wealth is about long-term financial security, while being rich is often just about current cash flow.</p>

<p><strong>How Much Money Do You Need to Be Rich?</strong></p>
<p>According to Charles Schwab's 2024 Modern Wealth Survey, the average American thinks you need a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/41013499/how-much-do-you-really-need-to-be-rich-heres-the-magic-number-people-now-say-is-wealthy">net worth of around $2.5 million</a> to be considered wealthy. That's up from $2.2 million in previous years.</p>
<p>But of course, this number can vary wildly depending on where you live. If you're in San Francisco, people think you need a cool $4.4 million to be considered wealthy, thanks to sky-high living costs. On the other hand, New Yorkers set their threshold at $2.9 million. Your ZIP code plays a big role in how people define wealth.</p>

<p><strong>High Income vs. High Net Worth</strong></p>
<p>While net worth is one way to measure wealth, the IRS focuses on income when defining who is rich. They say earning about $45,000 per month – or $540,000 annually – puts you in the "wealthy" category. But to hit the upper echelon, you'd need to rake in closer to $68,277 per month, according to the Economic Policy Institute, which defines the top 1% of earners.</p>
<p><strong>The Wealth Spectrum</strong></p>
<p>If you're curious about where most Americans fall, the U.S. Census Bureau provides more insight. The top 20% of earners make around $130,545 per year, nearly double the median household income of $71,000. So, while that might seem pretty solid, it's not enough to be in the top 1%.</p>
<p>For those wondering about net worth, it's another story. To land in the top 1% in America by net worth, you need about $11.6 million, according to The Kickass Entrepreneur. If you're in the top 5%, you're looking at $1.17 million. So, there's a big gap between being well-off and truly wealthy.</p>

<p><strong>Rich vs. Wealthy: What's the Difference?</strong></p>
<p>Here's where things get interesting: being "rich" and "wealthy" aren't quite the same. Rich usually refers to having a high income, which means you can spend freely on luxury and lifestyle. But that doesn't mean you're secure for the long haul. As the saying goes, "You can be rich, but still living paycheck to paycheck."</p>
<p>Conversely, wealth is more about net worth – the total of your assets minus your debts. It's not just about having money but enough to give you long-term financial freedom.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Personal Finance Is Personal</strong></p>
<p>Ultimately, the idea of being rich or wealthy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/41075540/is-your-401-k-balance-above-average-find-out-if-youre-beating-most-savers">comes down to personal perspective</a>. Some people might prioritize security over big earnings, focusing more on financial comfort than hitting a specific number. Others might dream of a retirement spent traveling the world or having enough freedom to pursue passions without worrying about the next paycheck.</p>
<p>Financial well-being isn't a one-size-fits-all. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/can-you-guess-how-many-americans-successfully-retire-with-1-million-saved">Consulting a financial advisor</a> can help you develop a strategy that aligns with your goals, whether building wealth, securing a comfortable retirement, or simply finding peace of mind.</p>

<p><strong>Chubb Ltd</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CB#NYSE">CB</a>) shares are trading lower by 5% to $275.89 going into the close of Monday&#8217;s session. Shares of insurance companies are trading lower while <strong>Floridians</strong> experience evacuation orders as Category 5 <strong><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41209505/hurricane-milton-is-floridas-second-storm-in-two-weeks-how-disney-theme-parks-insurance-companie">Hurricane Milton</a></strong> approaches the state. The region is still recovering from damage due to <strong>Hurricane Helene</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>What Happened:</strong> Shares of Chubb, one of the world's largest property and casualty insurers, fell today as Hurricane Milton intensified and headed toward Florida&#8217;s <strong>Gulf Coast</strong>. This comes less than two weeks after Hurricane Helene made landfall in the state, raising concerns over back-to-back financial pressures on insurers.</p>
<p>Chubb, known for its extensive portfolio of property, flood, and catastrophe insurance, faces heightened risk from these powerful storms. Florida is one of the company&#8217;s key markets for homeowner and commercial property insurance, and the potential damage from Hurricane Milton—expected to be a Category 4 or 5 storm—could lead to a surge in claims. </p>
<p>The cumulative effect of Helene and Milton, both major hurricanes, could significantly impact Chubb's profitability in the fourth quarter.</p>
<p><strong>Read Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/10/41214476/will-kamala-harriss-media-blitz-including-60-minutes-and-call-her-daddy-improve-her-2024-el">Will Kamala Harris&#8217;s Media Blitz, Including &#8217;60 Minutes&#8217; And &#8216;Call Her Daddy,&#8217; Improve Her 2024 Election Prospects?</a></strong></p>
<p>Hurricane Helene caused significant but manageable damage, leading to initial relief among insurers. However, the threat posed by Milton is amplifying concerns. Meteorologists expect Milton to affect a larger geographic area, particularly the Tampa Bay region, and the storm's size and intensity suggest higher levels of destruction, including wind damage, flooding and business interruptions. </p>
<p>Given that Chubb provides comprehensive hurricane coverage, it could face hundreds of millions of dollars in claims.</p>
<p><strong>What Else:</strong> Chubb has long been regarded as one of the most financially resilient insurers, with robust reinsurance arrangements and capital reserves to manage catastrophic events. However, consecutive hurricanes of this magnitude could pressure its underwriting performance and trigger larger-than-anticipated payouts, hurting its combined ratio—a key measure of profitability in the insurance industry. </p>
<p>If Milton causes extensive infrastructure damage, Chubb could see a higher volume of claims than initially forecasted.</p>
<p>Additionally, the cost of handling claims, such as deploying adjusters and addressing policyholder needs in hard-hit areas, can inflate Chubb&#8217;s expenses. Given the already strained resources from Hurricane Helene, the added burden from Milton raises fears of longer recovery timelines and potentially larger economic losses.</p>
<p>Investors are cautious as Chubb&#8217;s exposure to natural disasters remains a key risk to the company's financial outlook. While home improvement and utility stocks may see gains due to increased demand for repairs and backup energy systems, Chubb and other insurers are vulnerable to unexpected, substantial losses from back-to-back hurricanes.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy CB Stock</h2>
<p>By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Chubb &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.</p>
<p>Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so.</p>
<p>If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.</p>
<p>According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, CB has a 52-week high of $294.18 and a 52-week low of $205.64.</p>

<p><a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a></p>
<p>While the innovation sphere constantly focuses on artificial intelligence these days, the top players in the field have gotten a lot of attention &ndash; maybe too much attention. Recently, we&rsquo;ve seen the mighty <strong>Nvidia</strong> (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nvda-stock-quote/"><strong>NVDA</strong></a>) lose a step from its previously mercurial ways. And that may open the doors for considering small-cap <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/technology/artificial-intelligence/">AI stocks</a> to buy.</p>



<p>Let&rsquo;s get the bad news out of the way first. Betting on small-capitalization firms of any sector presents higher risks than wagering on established enterprises. When you&rsquo;re dealing with consistently profitable companies, you enjoy a higher predictability flow. Unfortunately, higher predictability generally limits upside potentiality. The two characteristics typically share an inverse relationship.</p>



<p>Now, the positive side of the spectrum is that when smaller entities jump, they tend to do so quite robustly. That&rsquo;s due to the law of small numbers and other favorable dynamics. If you can handle the volatility risks, these small-cap AI stocks may bring more bang for the buck. Below are some ideas to consider.</p>



<h2>Aeva Technologies (AEVA)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/aeva1600-300x169.png" alt="Mobile phone with logo of American autonomous driving company Aeva Inc. on screen in front of business web page. Focus on left of phone display. Unmodified photo."><div>Source: T. Schneider / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p>Headquartered in Mountain View, California, <strong>Aeva Technologies</strong> (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/aeva-stock-quote/"><strong>AEVA</strong></a>) focuses on digital intelligence as it relates to automated mobility. It specializes in the design and development of advanced lidar sensing systems. Specifically, it harnesses the power of its proprietary 4D lidar solution, which enables rigorous calculations of surrounding objects in space and time. Long story short, Aeva is able to proactively avoid bad situations as opposed to merely reacting to them.</p>



<p>Scientifically, that makes AEVA one of the top small-cap stocks. Unfortunately, the market operates on more than just scientific fundamentals. There are also myriad other factors involved, including pure human emotions. Those emotions unfortunately are pessimistic, with shares slipping nearly 29% since the start of the year. So, what gives?</p>



<p>That&rsquo;s the reality of diminutive enterprises, I&rsquo;m afraid. Still, if you can handle the volatility, analysts believe that Aeva could post sales of $8.62 million this year. If so, that would just about represent a doubling from last year&rsquo;s result of $4.31 million.</p>



<p>Notably, in fiscal 2025, experts forecast the top line to hit $23.55 million, with a high-side target of $32.5 million. It&rsquo;s risky but an enticing example of small-cap AI stocks to consider.</p>



<h2>Duos Technologies (DUOT)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/duot1600-300x169.png" alt="Industrial technology concept. Communication network. INDUSTRY 4.0. Factory automation."><div>Source: metamorworks / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p>Based in Jacksonville, Florida, <strong>Duos Technologies</strong> (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/duot-stock-quote/"><strong>DUOT</strong></a>) broadly falls under the application software arena. <a href="https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/duot/company/">Per its public profile</a>, the company designs, develops and operates intelligent technology solutions. Its innovations in AI algorithms, computer vision, object detection and deep neural networks offer relevancies in the field of automated logistics and similar industrial and governmental solutions.</p>



<p>On paper, it&rsquo;s one of the most-promising ideas for small-cap AI stocks. To be fair, over the past 52 weeks, DUOT stock lost 61% of equity value. However, this volatility has been stabilizing. Since the beginning of this year, DUOT has only lost a bit more than 1%. Technically speaking, there may be a pattern of higher lows forming, which could attract market speculators.</p>



<p>Financially, the company could use some work. During the trailing 12 months (TTM), it incurred a net loss of $11.85 million. Revenue during the period reached only $5.9 million. However, in fiscal 2024, covering experts believe that sales could rise 95.2% to hit $14.58 million.</p>



<p>Moving out to fiscal 2025, the top line could expand by 39.2% to reach $20.3 million. It&rsquo;s a long shot but it could also be very enticing for the gambling type.</p>



<h2>DarioHealth (DRIO)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/healthcare-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="Nurse holding a tablet with icons representing different aspects of healthcare and healthcare data representing CANO stock. Healthcare Tech Stocks. Healthcare Stocks to Buy"><div>Source: metamorworks / Shutterstock</div></div><p>Hailing from New York City, <strong>DarioHealth</strong> (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/drio-stock-quote/"><strong>DRIO</strong></a>) falls under the healthcare sector. Specifically, it&rsquo;s involved in health information services. According to its <a href="https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/drio/company/">corporate profile</a>, DarioHealth provides a digital therapeutics platform along with a suite of solutions delivering personalized and dynamic interventions. Essentially, the company leverages AI to address the needs of patients with chronic conditions.</p>



<p>With the intersection of healthcare and AI promising to deliver profound innovations and positive outcomes, DarioHealth stands on viable ground. Wall Street appears to be waking up to the narrative. Yes, on a year-to-date basis, DRIO stock slipped more than 28%. However, last Friday, shares gained just over 11% in a single session. During that week, DRIO returned over 15%.</p>



<p>To be sure, DarioHealth is a higher-risk play among small-cap AI stocks. During the TTM period, it lost $49.35 million on sales of only $19.05 million. However, analysts believe that by the end of the year, the top line could expand by 72.6% to reach $35.13 million.</p>



<p>Patient investors will potentially want to wait until fiscal 2025. That&rsquo;s when sales could soar to $46.2 million, up 31.5% from projected 2024 revenue.</p>

3 Small-Cap AI Stocks to Buy Now: June 2024

<p><a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a></p>
<p>Artificial intelligence: everybody&rsquo;s talking about it, everybody loves it. Okay, I don&rsquo;t mean that <em>literally</em> but you get the point. Seemingly every time we turn to business headlines, it&rsquo;s right there. The machines are taking over. Therefore, <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/technology/artificial-intelligence/">AI stocks</a> represent an excellent buying opportunity. And maybe that&rsquo;s the case but a little prudence may go a long way.</p>



<p>Here&rsquo;s what I mean. You can chase the biggest names in the sector right now. However, because so much enthusiasm has been baked in, it&rsquo;s almost as if these ideas are destined to flop from here on out. No, that&rsquo;s not a prediction but it wouldn&rsquo;t be surprising. For example, <strong>Nvidia</strong> (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nvda-stock-quote/"><strong>NVDA</strong></a>) is down 11% in the trailing month. That might be a problem.</p>



<p>Rather than climb stratospheric heights only to later risk holding the bag, investors may want to take a prudent approach to their risk profile; that is, consider AI stocks that, relatively speaking, haven&rsquo;t enjoyed as much of the spotlight. Below are compelling ideas to consider.</p>



<h2>UiPath (PATH)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/path1600-300x169.png" alt="In this photo illustration the UiPath (PATH) logo is displayed on a smartphone."><div>Source: rafapress / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p>Operating in the software infrastructure industry, <strong>UiPath</strong> (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/path-stock-quote/"><strong>PATH</strong></a>) specializes in <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/PATH/profile/">robotic process automation or RPA</a>. Essentially, the company provides software to automate repetitive tasks. Thanks to its ability to improve efficiency and productivity, PATH represents one of the top-tier AI stocks. Still, it&rsquo;s not quite as appreciated as Nvidia.</p>



<p>Frankly, that could be the opportunity to pick up some shares before they rocket higher, possibly in the years ahead. Financially, the company is a strong performer. In the past four quarters, UiPath posted an average earnings per share of 14 cents. This beat the collective consensus view of 10 cents, yielding an earnings surprise of 79.3%.</p>



<p>What&rsquo;s even more attractive is the valuation. Right now, shares trade hands at 5.11X trailing-year sales. In contrast, the period between the first quarter of 2023 to Q1 2024 saw the metric hit 8.53X. Therefore, PATH could theoretically rise to its prior valuation.</p>



<p>Analysts are looking at current fiscal year sales to hit $1.41 billion. If so, that would represent a 7.7% lift. This is one of the AI stocks to keep on your radar.</p>



<h2>Cognyte Software (CGNT)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/ai-artificial-intelligence-pen-chart-1600-300x169.jpg" alt='Hand with pen marking holographic chart with the word "AI". Artificial Intelligence'><div>Source: shutterstock.com/everything possible</div></div><p>Another enterprise in the software infrastructure arena, <strong>Cognyte Software</strong> (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/cgnt-stock-quote/"><strong>CGNT</strong></a>) develops security analytics software that uses AI to detect, analyze and address cybersecurity threats. I don&rsquo;t really need to emphasize the importance of such a business model. With digital threats constantly rising and imposing severe costs to businesses, Cognyte is a must-watch enterprise.</p>



<p>Financially, the company is a bit of a mixed bag as it&rsquo;s not consistently profitable. For example, in the past four quarters, it posted an average loss per share of 1 cent. Still, it did beat massively with an EPS of 34 cents in the October quarter. Also, the collective consensus view in the past year was a loss of 14 cents. Thus, the &ldquo;earnings&rdquo; surprise came out to 851.8%.</p>



<p>Now, unlike UiPath, Cognyte trades at a relative premium to sales at 1.64X. In the past year, this metric sat at 1.26X. Nevertheless, context matters. Over the next two years, analysts see consistent growth. By the end of fiscal 2026 (calendar 2025), sales could hit $369.57 million. That&rsquo;s up from last year&rsquo;s print of $313.52 million. Therefore, CGNT ranks among the AI stocks to consider.</p>



<h2>Duos Technologies (DUOT)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/duot1600-300x169.png" alt="Industrial technology concept. Communication network. INDUSTRY 4.0. Factory automation."><div>Source: metamorworks / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p>Finally, an application software specialist, <strong>Duos Technologies</strong> (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/duot-stock-quote/"><strong>DUOT</strong></a>) provides intelligent security and analytical technology solutions leveraging digital intelligence. Primarily, Duos targets the transportation and logistics sectors for enhanced operational efficiencies. Also, the company plays a significant role in safety and security measures, especially for rail systems.</p>



<p>Financially, Duos represents a high-risk idea among AI stocks. In the past four quarters, the company posted an average loss per share of 41 cents. If that wasn&rsquo;t bad enough, the expected loss per share was 30 cents. Therefore, the quarterly surprise came out to almost 47% below parity.</p>



<p>Further, DUOT stock appears to carry a higher relative sales multiple of 3.72X. In the past year, this metric was noticeably lower at 2.08X. So, why bother considering Duos? It comes down to projected growth. Analysts are expected tons of it. By year&rsquo;s end, sales could jump to $14.58 million, up 95.2% from the prior year. It goes up again to $20.3 million in fiscal 2025.</p>



<p>Also, analysts see the loss per share in 2024 mitigated to 89 cents, better than last year&rsquo;s loss of $1.56. Therefore, it&rsquo;s well worth consideration.</p>
