Palomar Holdings (ISIN US69753M1053) traded at USD 131.54 on Nasdaq on September 22, 2026, after falling USD 2.55 during the session. The insurance stock combines a USD 3.46 billion market capitalization with quarterly EPS of USD 2.36, giving investors a current valuation and earnings reference.

Estimates move higher

According to Zacks on September 22, 2026, six analysts raised their fiscal 2026 earnings estimates during the previous 60 days, lifting the consensus estimate by USD 0.34 to USD 10.13 per share. The same report puts Palomar's average earnings surprise at 13 percent, adding a quantified comparison to the estimate trend.

The latest reported quarter also exceeded the consensus figure. According to MarketBeat on September 22, 2026, Palomar reported USD 2.36 EPS for the quarter ended before its August 4 earnings release, compared with analyst expectations of USD 2.19. The USD 0.17 beat was accompanied by a net margin of 18.61 percent and revenue of USD 314.42 million.

Specialty insurance supports valuation

Simply Wall St described Palomar on September 23, 2026 as a specialty property and casualty insurer focused on catastrophe-related coverage, including earthquake, hurricane, flood and crop insurance. Its overview puts insurance operations at about USD 1.1 billion and values the stock at about USD 3.5 billion, broadly consistent with the USD 3.46 billion market capitalization reported on September 22.

That comparison matters because Palomar's earnings profile depends on both underwriting and investment income. The current quarterly net margin of 18.61 percent and the USD 0.17 EPS beat provide a more specific operating reference than the broader specialty-insurance theme.
