Where UVE is headed
Universal Insurance Holdings writes more homeowners policies in Florida than almost anyone else, in a state most national carriers spent the last five years fleeing. State Farm pulled back. Farmers exited. AIG trimmed. Allstate stopped writing new business. What was left behind was a market with fewer competitors, repriced policies, and a regulatory regime that finally stopped treating insurers as a punching bag. UVE didn't leave. By mid-2027, that decision should look obvious in the numbers, with a combined ratio settling into the low 90s in non-cat years and a book value compounding at a rate that doesn't match a 5.5x P/E.
