Summary

  • Heritage Insurance has delivered a remarkable turnaround, with strong earnings growth and improved underwriting efficiency driving a 211% stock return in the past year.
  • Fundamentals remain robust, supported by selective underwriting, geographic diversification, and favorable legislative changes in Florida's insurance market.
  • Despite reasonable valuations, risks include an above-average hurricane season and significant insider selling following the recent price surge.
  • Given these near-term risks, I recommend a cautious neutral (hold) rating on HRTG until the hurricane season risk subsides.
