Palomar (PLMR) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Palomar (PLMR) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Palomar Holdings Inc. is positioned favorably within the property and casualty insurance sector, with expectations of improved core loss ratios year-over-year in 2025 as the market continues its historical cycle. The company is experiencing strong profitable growth, leading analysts to revise their earnings per share estimates upward to range from $7.05 in 2025 to $9.85 by 2027, indicating a robust financial outlook. Despite challenges such as unusual loss ratios and cyclicality in net-to-gross earned premiums, the fundamental strengths of Palomar's business model are anticipated to drive its stock performance positively.
Bears say
Palomar Holdings Inc. has recently experienced significant underperformance compared to both the S&P 500 and the KBW Insurance Index, primarily due to slowing growth in earthquake gross written premiums (GWP) and an unexpectedly high core loss ratio in the second quarter of 2025. Additionally, the company faces substantial risk from potential decreases in reinsurance availability or increases in reinsurance pricing, which could exacerbate its financial strain in the event of catastrophic losses. The reliance on reinsurance, particularly the 70% cession of crop book premiums and losses, further weakens its profitability metrics, revealing a below-average net-to-gross ratio that negatively impacts financial performance.
