Read MoreHide Full Article
Heritage Insurance (HRTG - Free Report) shares rallied 16.5% in the last trading session to close at $6.13. This move can be attributable to notable volume with a higher number of shares being traded than in a typical session. This compares to the stock's 9.1% gain over the past four weeks.
Rate adequacy, selective underwriting and restricting new business for policies written in over-concentrated markets or products should drive underwriting profitability. Strategically diversified portfolio helps it to achieve better risk distribution, claims trends, and lower reinsurance costs.
Organic growth drives premium for HRTG. Rating actions continue to drive in-force premium. The vertically integrated structure benefits loss, LAE and operating expenses, thus lowering earnings volatility.
A disciplined capital allocation approach fuels premium growth in Mid-Atlantic, West, Pacific regions and selected classes in the Northeast.

Earnings and revenue growth expectations certainly give a good sense of the potential strength in a stock, but empirical research shows that trends in earnings estimate revisions are strongly correlated with near-term stock price movements.
For Heritage Insurance, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. And a stock's price usually doesn't keep moving higher in the absence of any trend in earnings estimate revisions.
