Tiptree Inc. (TIPT) saw its shares surge 9.18% in Thursday's intraday trading session, outperforming the broader market. This rally appears to be driven by the impressive performance of its insurance subsidiary Fortegra and positive outlook from financial analysts.
Fortegra, Tiptree's specialty insurance arm, reported a strong 17.6% growth in gross written premiums and premium equivalents to $851.9 million for Q4 2024. Additionally, the combined ratio improved by 0.3 percentage points to 89.5%, reflecting consistent underwriting performance. For the full year 2024, Fortegra grew its GWP and premium equivalents by 11.7% to $3.07 billion, fueled by growth in specialty E&S insurance lines.
Beyond the solid financials, Tiptree is also gaining recognition as an "undiscovered gem" with strong fundamentals. Analysts highlight Tiptree's improving debt ratios, surging earnings growth that outpaced the industry, and potential undervaluation based on valuation metrics. This positive outlook from financial experts may have further bolstered investor confidence in the stock.
