Skyward Specialty Insurance Group: Strong Financial Outlook and Strategic Acquisitions Drive Buy RatingWe are updating our model following the release of Skyward’s 2026 guidance, which incorporates the acquisition of Apollo (expected to close in first quarter 2026). The stock is up about 5% since the guidance release (whereas the financials index is roughly flat) as the midpoint for its adjusted EPS guide came in 8% above the consensus estimate at the time and its GWP range suggests between about 20% and 30% growth. It is important to note that it guided to a combined ratio range of between 90.5% and 91.5%, which is within its very consistent historical range. The stock is currently trading at 10 times our 2026 estimate, while other specialty peers trade in the high teens to low 20s. We continue to expect Skyward to compound top- and bottom-line growth in the high teens over the next several years.
