James River Group ( (JRVR) ) has issued an update.
James River Group announced on March 2, 2026, that its board declared a cash dividend of $0.01 per common share, payable March 31, 2026 to shareholders of record as of March 13, 2026. The company also reported a sharp turnaround in fourth-quarter 2025 performance, with net income of $30.1 million from continuing operations versus a $92.7 million loss a year earlier, boosted in part by a $14.1 million tax benefit tied to its November 7, 2025 redomicile from Bermuda to Delaware.
For full-year 2025, James River posted a combined ratio of 96.6%, a 34% rise in tangible common equity per share to $8.94, and a 15.3% adjusted net operating return on tangible common equity, underscoring improved profitability and capital strength. Results were driven by a significantly better underwriting performance, especially in the E&S segment, where the combined ratio fell to 86.0%, net earned premiums rose 61.5% in the quarter, and underwriting profit reached its best quarterly level since 2022, even as gross written premiums declined as the group concentrated on smaller, higher-quality risks.
The most recent analyst rating on (JRVR) stock is a Buy with a $7.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on James River Group stock, see the JRVR Stock Forecast page.
