Intact Financial Corporation, a Canadian property and casualty insurance provider, is currently receiving mixed scores in different areas according to Smartkarma Smart Scores. While the company shows strong momentum with a score of 4, indicating positive market trends, it falls slightly behind in resilience with a score of 2. This suggests some vulnerability to economic shocks or disruptions. The company maintains steady scores in value, dividend, and growth, all at a score of 3, which signifies a consistent performance across these key factors.

Looking ahead, the long-term outlook for Intact Financial appears promising given its solid momentum score.
