Skyward Specialty Insurance Group: Strong Performance and Promising Outlook with Buy RatingWe continue to like Skyward heading into 2026, due to strength from its less cyclical product lines and the potential for reacceleration in the E&S/property lines, in addition to a favorable margin outlook. Margins should remain consistent in the low-90s given the company is focusing growth on lines that are less sensitive to P&C market fluctuations while maintaining a conservative reserving strategy. We expect top-line growth of 16% in 2025 largely driven by a continuation of strength from the A&H lines. The stock is currently trading at 12 times our 2026 estimates, while peers trade in the high-teens to mid-20s. We expect Skyward to compound top- and bottom-line growth in the mid- to low teens over the next several years. This along with continued earnings beats should be good catalysts for the stock.
