Palomar Holdings: Strong Fundamentals, Yet Discounted Valuation
Summary Palomar Holdings (PLMR) is transitioning to a diversified, commission-based model, reducing catastrophic risk dependency and achieving a 25.9% adjusted ROE in 2025.

The Gray Surety acquisition diversifies income streams, but increases leverage and exposes PLMR to integration and reinsurance market risks. I view PLMR as an attractive, albeit volatile, growth story with a favorable risk-reward profile for investors comfortable with insurance cycles.
