Hey, GQ crew ✌️

My first post since I got kicked out about 4 weeks ago—who would’ve thought that showing solidarity with one of the members (@Klein-Anleger ) would lead to a ban so quickly? But getquin’s generosity was so BIG (and, most importantly, “on a trial basis”) that they graciously let me back into the holy grail of the GQ community 😉

So guys, learn from my mistakes: The leniency here isn’t an “infinite money” glitch! Save your solidarity for later, keep your support for other members at zero, and most importantly 🚨: No sneaky advertising for alternative financial platforms like “Cisdord” 😉😂.

Sorry, that little dig after four weeks away was a must 🤝

But joking aside…

⏳The first three months of 2026 have passed. Time for a brief interim assessment of the current status of my portfolio rebuild.

Before I started rebuilding my portfolio, I naturally thought about what strategy I wanted to pursue in the coming months and years—especially with regard to stock selection and weighting.

To be honest, my original plan was to maintain a portfolio with a maximum of 20 stocks. As things progressed, however, I realized that it probably wouldn’t stay at 20—the number is more likely to rise to around 30 positions (+/-)—

♟️My Focus & Strategy:

To put it simply: The clear focus is on growth 🚀. Dividends play a rather secondary role here. Here, I’ll show you my shopping list—or rather, what my portfolio should look like in the future. The stocks I’ve already bought are marked with a green checkmark; those without a checkmark are ones I’m still waiting on ⏳

Given the global political situation—especially because of that 🍊 in the White House, whose tweets cause more tsunamis 🌊than actual natural disasters—and the current drawdown in the S&P 500 (which is actually working out great for me right now and bringing me a lot of joy 🤩), I’m consequently in the red on some of my purchases so far 💦🫧.

But hey, we’re investing for the long term, after all, right? So, taking it easy, keeping it chill 🥱 I’ll most likely hold off on making any more purchases for the time being over the next few days or weeks, park my cash elsewhere or put it in a money market account, and wait to see where the market settles or wait for it to stabilize.

What do you guys have on your watchlist?

Are you sitting on the sidelines right now, or how are you handling the current situation?

This provides expanded multinational insurance coverage for U.S. life science companies with international operations. The company has experienced strong revenue growth of 22.28% over the last twelve months with a market capitalization of approximately $2.06 billion.

The expansion is the first joint initiative between Skyward Specialty $SKWD and Apollo since the acquisition of Apollo by Skyward Group earlier this month. The new offering leverages Apollo's 1969 Lloyd's syndicate to offer expanded international coverage options. According to data from InvestingPro Skyward's financial health is rated as "GREAT", with high ratings for cash flow and profitability. This indicates that the company is well positioned to fund its expansion initiatives.

"The expansion of our life sciences product reflects the strength of our combined company and our ability to jointly pursue new opportunities," said Andrew Robinson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Skyward Group, in a press release.

The company stated that Apollo's Lloyd's platform and global licensing capabilities, combined with Skyward Specialty's underwriting expertise, will support the expansion of its specialty risk portfolio.

Skyward Group acts as a holding company for the Skyward Specialty Insurance Group
$SKWD and Apollo and provides specialized insurance solutions in the global property and casualty specialty markets. The company's stock is traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

Skyward Specialty offers insurance solutions through nine underwriting lines, including Accident & Health, Agriculture, Professional Lines and Surety. The company's insurance companies have an A rating (Excellent) with a stable outlook from A.M. Best Company.

Apollo operates as an insurance platform at Lloyd's of London and offers products in the property, casualty, marine, energy & transport and specialty insurance segments.

🛡️ Skyward Specialty Insurance $SKWD
- The niche king in the insurance sector

Hello my dears,

There have been a lot of great companies featured here lately like from @Shiya with $DCTH (-0,52%) or$HROW or stock presentations from dear @Tenbagger2024

Many ideas in the health sector or technologies

Today I would like to introduce you to a company, especially in a sector that not many people think about. The insurance sector 😬 and I have my eye 👀 on this small-cap company. small-cap company thrown.

TODAY IT'S ABOUT SKYWARD SPECIALTY INSURANCE $SKWD

$SKWD Skyward Specialty is not a traditional car or household insurer. The company is active in the Specialty Property & Casualty (P&C) where risks are complex, difficult to assess and often underinsured.

1. the business model: "Rule Our Niche" 🎯

The company pursues a clear strategy: Specialization instead of mass.

* Focus: They insure niches such as renewable energies, media criminal law, life sciences, construction and professional liability.

- Technology focus: Skyward makes extensive use of data analytics and AI (partnering with Sixfold) to price risks more accurately than large, sluggish competitors.

Agility: Due to its smaller size compared to giants like $CB (+0,67%) or $AIG (+0,27%) they can react more quickly to changes in the market.

- The "Apollo Group Holdings Limited" takeover (January 2026)

For the start of the new year 2026, they have acquired "Apollo Group Holdings Limited" for further growth drivers. Apollo (a Lloyd's of London syndicate) for further growth! This means for $SKWD

- Access to the world's most important marketplace for specialty insurance (Lloyd's).

- An immediate global presence instead of being limited to the US market.

The company offers insurance solutions for complex risks that are often avoided by standard insurers. They operate in eight core areas, including:

🏗️Bauwesen & Energy: Specialized solutions for high-risk industries.

🩺👨‍⚖️👷‍♂️ Professional liability: For doctors, lawyers and architects.

🌾Special programs: Tailor-made packages for very specific industries (e.g. transportation, agriculture).

- Transactional E&S: "Excess & Surplus" lines, i.e. risks that cannot be insured via the regular market.

👤 Management: who pulls the strings?

The success of an insurer stands and falls with discipline in underwriting (risk assessment). This is where the CEO comes into play:

- CEO: Andrew Robinson

- He took the helm in 2020🤝

- Robinson is an industry heavyweight. He previously held senior positions at The Hanover Insurance Group and as a consultant at Oak HC/FT.

- His strategy: He has radically trimmed Skyward for technology and data analytics. His focus is not on "size at any cost", but on profitability in segments that other insurers find too complicated.

2. the key figures📊

- Market capitalization: Approx. USD 2.1 billion.

- Share price: current share price approx. USD 50.00

- P/E ratio (P/E ratio): approx. 13 - 15 (attractively valued for a growth stock in the insurance sector).

- Combined ratio: Is constant at approx. 91-92 %.

- For information: Anything below 100% means that the insurer is operating profitably (premiums > claims & costs). 91 % is an excellent value.

- Growth: Gross sales (written premiums) recently rose by over 50 % year-on-year (Q3 2025).

🟢 Growth turbo (revenue growth): In the last quarter (Q3 2025), gross premiums rose by a whopping 51,6 % compared to the previous year. This is exceptionally high organic growth for an insurer.

🟢 Profitability (combined ratio): With a value of 89,2 % in Q3 2025, Skyward has set a new company record. As a reminder: the lower this value is below 100%, the more profitable the core business is.

🟢Return on equity (ROE): The annualized return on equity currently stands at 19,3 %. This shows that the management is making highly efficient use of shareholders' capital (the benchmark in the sector is often closer to 12-15%).

🟢Increase in book value: The book value per share increased to September 2025 to 23,75 $ - an increase of 20 % since the beginning of 2025.

🟢Earnings per share (EPS) of 1.10 were massively above analysts' estimates (approx. 0.85). The main drivers were:

1. Strong new business in the areas of agriculture, credit insurance and specialty programs.

2. Higher investment income: Due to the interest rate environment, Skyward earned significantly more on its USD 1.6 billion portfolio (primarily bonds).

3. Lower catastrophe losses: Compared to the previous year, there were fewer claims from severe storms.

3. why is the share exciting? 🚀

1. Enormous profit growth: Analysts expect profit growth of over 35% for 2026. The company regularly beats expectations✅

2.Skyward Speciality is currently delivering a rare combination of hyper-growth (premiums +50%) and operational excellence (combined ratio < 90 %) ✅

3.while established players such as $RLI (+0,52%) or $KNSL (+1,38%) , $WRB (+0,52%) are growing moderately (often in the single-digit or low double-digit range), Skyward is growing at +50 % is an absolute outlier. This shows that $SKWD is gaining massive market share.✅

4. High return on equity (ROE): With an ROE of over 17%, Skyward works very efficiently with shareholders' money.✅

5. Interest profit: As an insurer, Skyward holds billions in fixed-interest securities. The higher interest rate level ensures bubbling investment income.✅

6.Acquisition turbo: The integration of Apollo opens up access to the global Lloyd's market.✅

7.experienced management: Andrew Robinson has transformed the company from a problem child to a high performer in just 4 years.✅

4. risks ⚠️

- Inflation risk: Rising costs for repairs or legal proceedings (loss inflation) could squeeze margins.❗️

- Catastrophe risk: Although Skyward occupies niche markets, extreme weather events can weigh on results.❗️

- Interest rate sensitivity: If interest rates fall extremely quickly, investment returns from the portfolio will fall.❗️

5. conclusion & analyst rating 🧐

$SKWD Skyward Specialty is a classic growth growth story in a conservative sector. The share has significantly outperformed the S&P 500 in recent years.

Analysts' price target: The consensus is approx. 63 - 70 USDwhich corresponds to an upside potential of approx. 25-35 % ⬆️entspricht.

My personal conclusion ?

$SKWD is not a dividend payer like e.g. now a $ALV (+1,25%) or $MUV2 (+0,85%) but is $SKWD a highly exciting "quality-growth" stock. If you are looking for growth, this small-cap company could be a very interesting candidate.

Despite the sharp rise in the share price, I think the valuation is $SKWD fair to slightly undervalued, which is why I'm toying with the idea of going in with a tranche🤫

But as far as I know, the share is not tradable with many NeoBrokers 😅

What is your opinion of the company?

Would the share be something for your portfolio?
