Investment Highlights Why It Matters Which of these 2 stories sounds closer for this stock?

1. Generates cash flow

The stock generated 4% or more of the share price (called cash flow yield), and shows moderate 10-15% or more growth.

2. Riding a trend

Think Tesla during the pandemic of 2020 when EVs were riding a cultural high, or Nvidia in the current AI boom, or even Figma. These companies don’t have enough yield, or, enough growth, or both - however - they are riding a trend. They have momentum. These can be more volatile - they don’t have the floor of strong cash flow

1. Fourth Quarter 2024 Net Loss and Underwriting Challenges.

This period saw the combined ratio increase significantly to 112.1% from 91.4% in the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily due to increased reserves for aviation losses related to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and various catastrophe losses. 2.

The company reported a net loss of $4.4 million in the third quarter of 2025, a substantial decrease from the net income recorded in the same period of 2024. This downturn was largely attributed to a total investment loss of $17.4 million, primarily stemming from the Solasglas fund.
