Hamilton Insurance posts strong Q1 EPS $1.64, focuses on margins over growth, shares near fair value.

Hamilton Insurance Group reported a strong first quarter with earnings per share of $1.64, driven by better underwriting results and a favorable catastrophe environment. The company’s investment strategy, which balances low-risk fixed income with liquid absolute return assets, has shielded it from private credit market concerns. Management is prioritizing profit margins over growth by ceding more premiums to reinsurers and returning capital to shareholders through special dividends and buybacks. Shares are currently near fair value around $33–34, with a hold rating maintained and potential buying interest if prices fall below $30.
