Specialty E&S underwriter compounding revenue ~30%/yr with expanding ROE, trading at a reasonable 18x earnings.

Revenue $552M · FY2025

The read

Quality fundamentals and an attractive price line up (~103% below fair value) — the rarer case where both the business and the entry look good.

Bowhead is a young, fast-growing specialty P&C insurer operating in the E&S market through a craft + digital (Baleen/express) model, and the numbers reflect a business firing on all cylinders: revenue has nearly tripled from $188M in FY2022 to $552M in FY2025 (+29.6% YoY), with net income compounding even faster from $11.3M to $53.8M (+40.6% YoY). Diluted EPS grew 23.3% to $1.59, and ROE landed at a respectable 12.0% — solid for an insurer still in scale-up mode. Operating cash flow of $332M (~6x net income) reflects the float dynamics of a growing premium book, and cash on the balance sheet nearly doubled to $194M, giving meaningful flexibility against just $146M in long-term debt.
