Slide Insurance Q2 Net Income Nearly Doubles on 16.7% Premium Growth
SLDE sits 71% above its 52-week low of $12.53.
Summary
Slide Insurance delivered a standout Q2: net income nearly doubled to $134.9 million, driven by a 16.7% jump in gross premiums written and a 47.9% revenue surge. The combined ratio improved sharply to 57.6%, reflecting better loss experience and operating leverage. The company also repurchased nearly 3 million shares and declared its first-ever quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share. Full-year guidance calls for gross written premiums of $1.85–$1.95 billion and net income of $455–$470 million, signaling confidence in sustained organic growth, especially outside Florida. This follows the recent completion of a record $5 billion reinsurance program and a pattern of insider selling—context that makes the strong operating results and capital returns particularly notable.
