What the filing says
Effective Q2 2026, Abacus changed its policy valuation methodology from a discount-rate-based approach to a Historical Return Method, applying observed realized gains directly to cost basis rather than back-solving discount rates from transaction prices. The company simultaneously reported record H1 2026 results: $73.0M Q2 revenue (up 30% YoY), $27.1M adjusted net income, $39.9M adjusted EBITDA (55% margin), and $362M year-to-date capital deployed (a record). The change reflects the company's shift toward holding policies for shorter periods (months, not years) and building its own asset management business ($1B+ committed capital).
Why this rating
Valuation methodology change + strong earnings growth are positive operationally, but the shift is primarily a reporting reframing of existing economics, not a business model overhaul. Strong H1 results ($73M revenue is ~51% of company's $142M market cap in one quarter) are material, but disclosed as in-line with/above guidance. No counterparty changes, material contracts, or structural risk disclosed.
