Heritage Insurance Q2 Profit Jumps 29%, Combined Ratio Improves to 64.9%
HRTG sits 85% above its 52-week low of $16.825.
Summary
Heritage Insurance posted a strong Q2 with net income up 28.5% to $61.7M and EPS of $2.05, beating revenue estimates slightly. The combined ratio improved to 64.9%, driven by lower net losses from favorable prior-year development and reduced weather claims, plus reinsurance savings. The company bought back over 1M shares for $24.6M this year, signaling confidence, though the dividend remains suspended. Commercial premiums are expected to level off in H2 as Heritage expands outside Florida, while improved reinsurance costs should support margins. This follows a record Q1 and a successful catastrophe reinsurance placement in May, reinforcing the turnaround narrative.
At the time of this announcement, HRTG was trading at $31.17 on NYSE in the Finance sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $917.5M. The 52-week trading range was $16.83 to $31.98.
