Analysis · SLDE · Finance
Slide delivered a standout quarter: net income surged 92.4% to $134.9 million, gross premiums written grew 16.7% to $508 million, and the combined ratio improved 980 basis points to 57.6% — all well ahead of the prior year. The company also reiterated its full-year outlook for $1.85–$1.95 billion in gross written premiums and $455–$470 million in net income, signaling confidence in sustained momentum. Against a backdrop of heavy insider selling over the past 90 days, these results and the newly declared dividend provide a strong fundamental counterpoint.
