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 for core loss ratios to improve year-over-year in 2025, reflecting a historical trend following peak pricing periods. The company has demonstrated strong profitable growth, as evidenced by raised earnings per share estimates for 2025 to $7.05, driven by anticipated higher net-to-gross earned premium ratios and lower core loss ratios. Furthermore, the recognition of strong underlying growth metrics may encourage investor confidence, providing a positive outlook for Palomar's stock performance moving forward.
Bears say
Palomar Holdings Inc. has exhibited significant underperformance in its share price relative to the S&P 500 and KBW Insurance Index, primarily attributed to a decline in growth rate for earthquake gross written premiums (GWP) during the second quarter of 2025, alongside a higher-than-expected core loss ratio. The company's dependency on reinsurance poses further risks, especially in light of potential increases in reinsurance pricing and availability, which could exacerbate its financial challenges. Additionally, Palomar's crop insurance segment is negatively impacted by a high cession rate of 70% for premiums and losses, resulting in a net-to-gross ratio that is less favorable compared to other lines of business, increasing vulnerability during the third quarter.
