"Its pretty dumb we are holding up the budget deficit talks with the ACA tax credits which is peanuts in the scheme of things. Both parties Democrats and Republicans spend money like its water on so many other programs and theres plenty they can cut that dwarf the ACA tax credits. Per my very rough research the tax credits were less than $10B last year. 20m recipients with a delta of an annual premium of $1600 less the subsidiary to about $XXX. You could hit $UNH with a fine for that amount but its all politics. Are politicians getting dumber every year"

"Happy for the $NP community great company. I was willing to buy $NP at anything below $1.75B obviously that valuation never even came close to fruition. That was 20x FY Adj EBITDA 2025 which I had pegged at $93.3m. $NP is now trading at 45x that Adj EBITDA. Anyone notice that their market cap is $4.2B and the entire Flood insurance market is $5B Let that sink in for a second lol $NP can't write XXX% of the market since +50% of the policies in-force are in high hazard flood zones that are uninsurable. Do I think $NP is a fantastic company (Yes) do I think this valuation is completely nuts"

I do not think there are any fundamentals that are moving the stock other than pure speculation right now. The CMS controls rate increases and decreases for Medicare Advantage providers and $AGL charges their customers via fixed premiums per customer through their value based care contracts that is subject to the rate limitations of the CMS.

"Again you should understand how BCAR works on top of NAIC guidelines. Yes it is definitely a minimum if you understood BCAR. They are retaining more risk going forward so a $50m loss would effectively wipe out that surplus as it's still running above XXX% combined. Wasn't really predicting receivership.

"Nice move by Radian $RDN a step in the right direction to becoming more like $ACGL simply meaning a diversified P&C / PMI carrier rather than a monoline PMI carrier. Didnt overpay 1.5x book and around 7.7x 2025e pre-tax operating income or closer to 10x earnings. Well played boys. Simple highlight this was well executed"

"$PGR down on an EPS miss but its the weirdest EPS miss. $PGR incurred a $950m credit expense in Florida in their personal lines department because they were too profitable (above statutory limits) and have to credit money back to policyholders as a result. This credit ballooned their expense ratio for the quarter. Excluding this EPS grew +52% and their underlying underwriting results looked phenomenal. Since they filed for rate reductions this is hopefully just a 1x hit to earnings $PGR said they modeled the full credit for profit above stat limit. Call will be interesting most important item"

"Been awhile E&S carriers seem to be having a strong Q3 based on stamp data I reviewed but will look at the whole sector as Ive only really looked at individual companies right now. Definitely way down from its high. $RYAN has a good flywheel in terms of wholesale brokerage MGA platform and some balance sheet risk they take on in a separate reinsurance cell via Bermuda. They buy MGAs on LTM multiples and the stock is priced on a forward multiple so thats an immediate gain plus synergistically they can wholesale accounts into the MGA with synergies analyzed pre-close. Do I think all their MGA"

"Not going to lie this was a very frustrating print to read this morning to say the least. I have $NP at $93m of forward adjusted EBITDA - TTM Q2 2026. A lot of folks don't know this but $NP was purchased for 18x EBITDA on 5/11/23 by FTV Capital (forward EBITDA was 12x). At the time $NP enterprise value was $900m on TTM EBITDA estimated at $50m. So FTV is shooting for a 3.1x MOIC and a gross IRR of XXX% after holding an asset for 2yrs. really If they go forward with the $2.8B estimated cap I see this falling flat on it's face just like $SLDE and $ARX. 30x adjusted EBITDA will not hold. I see"

"LIC is at $200m and MM is at $23m as of June 2025. The ACL is a set formula the NAIC applies to carriers so it can be applied evenly across the industry. You insure 81000 vehicles a bad sneeze and you can kiss it goodbye. It's why BCAR methodology is a layer on top of RBC model. This capital model would probably get a CCC+ rating from AM Best. I don't care if they hold more or less prefer to see insurance carriers succeed. It's just a higher risk model. Personally I wouldn't want to be Insured by a company that holds the absolute minimum"

"Been a big push I've seen it from both sides of the aisle. They are over promising liquidity and long-term returns in my opinion. I'm fine with a carrier holding some illiquid assets for yield but there's limits to what they can hold. Junk per NAIC Model Act is usually limited to 1-2%. If it's a holding company structure different story"
