TAMPA, Fla. , Feb. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HRTG) ("Heritage" or the "Company"), a super-regional property and casualty insurance holding company, will announce its fourth quarter and full year 2024 financial results after the market closes on Tuesday, March 11, 2025, followed by a 9:00 am ET conference call and webcast on Wednesday, March 12, 2025.
TAMPA, Fla. , Jan. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HRTG) ("Heritage" or the "Company"), a super-regional property and casualty insurance holding company, today provided an update on the Company's fourth quarter 2024 financial results as well as an estimate of catastrophe loss from the Southern California wildfires expected to be incurred in the first quarter 2025.
HRTG's growing commercial residential business, expanding E&S business and improving pricing to deliver better margins and boost earnings bode well for growth.
Heritage Insurance Holdings has seen a 126% stock increase over the past year due to mostly positive earnings reports. Initially identified as undervalued, Heritage's strategic growth initiatives have driven significant stock gains. Continued positive performance and earnings reports justify a favorable rating for Heritage Insurance Holdings.
While the top- and bottom-line numbers for Heritage Insurance (HRTG) give a sense of how the business performed in the quarter ended September 2024, it could be worth looking at how some of its key metrics compare to Wall Street estimates and year-ago values.
Heritage Insurance (HRTG) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.27 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.02 per share. This compares to loss of $0.28 per share a year ago.
Heritage Insurance's third-quarter results are likely to reflect improving premiums offset by higher catastrophe losses.
Recently, HRTG has experienced corrections due to the storm season and unfavorable news coverage. My analysis of its intrinsic value emphasizes long-term fundamentals and its float. The float, money held by HRTG but not owned, has shown steady growth, indicating value creation through the income generated from investing that float. When considering only the float as the source of value, HRTG trades at a discount. Additional upside could come from its earning potential in underwriting and fee income.
Its growing commercial residential business, expanding E&S business and improving pricing to deliver better margins and boost earnings make HRTG worth betting on.
