What the filing says
For Q2 2026, AMERISAFE earned $77.3M in net premiums (11.4% YoY growth) and reported net income of $14.6M (diluted EPS $0.78). However, the net combined ratio widened to 95.4% from 91.7% YoY, driven by loss ratio deterioration (62.6% vs. 58.6%) despite $7.3M favorable prior-year reserve development. The company repurchased 184,093 shares at $30.58/share ($5.6M) and raised its quarterly dividend 5.1% to $0.41/share.
Why this rating
Premium growth strong, but underwriting margin compression and operating earnings down 17% signal rising claims pressure offsetting top-line gains relative to $820M market cap.
