Financials · Insurance - Property & Casualty

Kinsale Capital Group, Inc.'s earnings have outrun its stock. EPS grew +21.8% in a year against a −18.4% price move.

The sharpest disagreement: annual EPS moved +21.8% against a −18.4% price move — the market has not yet caught up with the delivery.

The price is topping out (1 weeks in) while the P/BV sits at the 7th percentile of its own 5-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +22.2% year on year, with the the net margin at 23.4%. What settles it: whether the price catches up with earnings that have already moved.

01 · Price story

Price story Before the numbers, the tape. A stock price moves through four repeating seasons: a flat base (stage 1), an advance (2), a top (3), a decline (4). Where the price sits in that cycle frames everything below.

Kinsale Capital Group, Inc. trades at $363, losing momentum at the top and 1 weeks into that stage. That is +0.2% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 35% of a 52-week range of $305 to $470. On relative strength it has been ahead of the S&P 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 2 straight weeks.

Today the stock is losing momentum at the top — week 1 of stage 3. At $363 it trades +0.2% versus its 200-day average and sits at 35% of its 52-week range ($305–$470).

Beating or trailing, week by week since 2016 Each cell is one week from 2016 to now (524 weeks): the stock's trailing 13-week return minus the S&P 500's, green ahead / red behind (±25% ramp). Grey cells are the 13-week warm-up or weeks where the S&P 500 reading is not held.
trailing 13-week return vs the S&P 500
Jul 16Aug 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.0 years the stock moved +1,886% while the S&P 500 moved +255% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 2 straight weeks — the ribbon below is that same metric, week by week.

What would end the trend, mechanically: two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day line. That is the exit rule — no debates.

02 · Valuation

Valuation For a bank we price the book, not the earnings: P/BV is what the market pays for each $1 of the bank's net worth. A bank below 1× book is priced below the value of what it owns, net of what it owes.

Kinsale Capital Group, Inc. trades at 4.1× P/BV, near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 7% of the time. Its long-run median P/BV is 7.6×, measured across 5.1 years of weekly readings. This places the multiple against the stock’s own record, and says nothing about what the business is worth.

Today's P/BV of 4.1× is near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 7% of the time, against a long-run median of 7.6× measured over 5.1 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

One caveat before moving on: the net margin is the best this company has ever printed — cheap against its own history on record margins is not the same thing as cheap. If profitability mean-reverts, today's multiple is higher than it looks.

Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year book value grew while the price moved −18.4% — price and book moved together, holding the multiple in its range.

The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the +14.4%/yr price move, ~+26.7%/yr came from book-value growth and ~−12.3 pp from the multiple (compressing). The split is the honest approximate (price return minus book-value growth); it makes the rally itself visible instead of hiding it behind the percentile.

Put together: the multiple is low against its own past, so the story rests on the book-value line underneath it, not the multiple.

03 · Stage: Consistent

Stage: Consistent Every business sits somewhere on a fundamental arc, and this page names the spot before anything else. The last twelve quarters of revenue, profit and EPS growth — plus the return the business earns on its capital — are read as curves: Deteriorating (the curves are falling), Turning around (a trough has just formed and the last few quarters lift off it), Improving (the climb off the trough is sustained), Consistent (steadily positive with healthy returns), Topping out (still high but decelerating from the peak). When the curves genuinely disagree the read is Mixed; too little history is No read. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the smooth yearly pace that turns the starting value into the latest one — the fairest way to compare growth across different time spans. Read the columns together: if the 1-year number towers over the 10-year, recent growth is running hotter than the long-run trend. A dash means that window is not held, or the base year was a loss (where a growth rate is not meaningful).

Kinsale Capital Group, Inc. reads as consistent on its fundamental arc. Consistent — revenue, profit and EPS growth have stayed positive through the window, with ROE at 26.4% and holding. The read is built from 12 quarters across 4 curves, on full evidence.

Growth, year by year: revenue +17.6% in FY25, profit +22.0% Year-over-year growth per fiscal year, %: revenue (left axis); net profit and EPS (right axis — profit growth swings far wider). Zero line drawn.

04 · 4-Factor Sector Score

4-Factor Sector Score

48.1/100 — rank 14 of 30 in Insurance - Property & Casualty · 60% evidence confidence

Kinsale Capital Group, Inc. scores 48.1 out of 100 against the 30 companies it is compared with in Insurance - Property & Casualty, ranking 14. Strong business, demanding price: keep it on the quality list, but require either earnings upgrades or valuation compression.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 18.8 + 18.1 + 4.8 + 6.4 = 48.1. This is the SAME number shown on the sector comparison — it is computed once, for the whole peer set, and read here.

What would change it: The read weakens if ROA rolls over or gross NPA rises while sector-relative strength deteriorates.

05 · Revenue

Revenue For a bank, revenue is everything the franchise earns — interest on the loan book plus fees from its businesses.

Kinsale Capital Group, Inc. reported $0.5 B of income in the Mar 26 quarter, +11.9% year on year. That is the 12th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 4 years it has compounded at 30.2% a year. The last full year, FY25, came in at $1.9 B. The last four reported quarters add to $1.9 B.

FY25 revenue came in at $1.9 B (+17.6% on the year), capping 4 years at 30.2% compound. The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed $0.5 B, +11.9% year on year — the 12th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +17.9% growth against the decade's 30.2% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +17.8% over the last 4 quarters against +20.2%/yr over the last 8 — stabilising; TTM profit +30.0% vs +21.9%/yr — accelerating.

06 · Net margin

Net margin Net margin — what the bank keeps of every $100 of revenue after every cost, provision and tax. With big fee businesses in the mix, it is the cleanest margin we can read for this bank.

Kinsale Capital Group, Inc.'s net margin is 23.4% in the Mar 26 quarter, +2.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. That is the widest this company has ever printed on a full-year basis. Across 5 fiscal years the net margin has ranged 19.0% to 26.7%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's net margin is 23.4%, +2.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 fiscal years the net margin has ranged 19.0%–26.7%, and FY25's 26.7% is the top of that band — a record year.

Why: the numbers show the net margin move clearly, but the cost lines behind it sit below what we hold — so we state the move without inventing its driver.

Worth repeating from the valuation section: cheap against its own history on record margins is not the same thing as cheap — a record margin flatters every ratio built on top of it.

07 · Net profit

Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.

Kinsale Capital Group, Inc. earned $0.1 B of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, +22.2% year on year. It is the 4th consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY25 profit was $0.5 B. The 4-year compound rate is 35.1%. That is 23.4% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $0.1 B.

Mar 26 profit was $0.1 B, +22.2% year on year — the 4th consecutive quarter of growth. On the full year, FY25 printed $0.5 B (+22.0%), and the 4-year compound rate is 35.1%.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +11.9% and the margin +2.0 pp — the quarter was margin-led: most of the profit growth came from keeping more of each sale.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +30.3% vs revenue +17.9%. Profit is growing faster than sales — fixed costs are being spread over a bigger base, and each extra dollar of revenue drops more to the bottom line.

08 · Asset quality — the ladder

Asset quality — the ladder Gross NPA is the slice of the loan book where repayments have stopped. Net NPA is what remains after the money already set aside against those loans. Falling is healing; rising is damage arriving.

Loan-book quality history is not available for Kinsale Capital Group, Inc., so this section names the gap rather than estimating a ratio. No gross or net non-performing-asset series is filed in a form this page can read, and none is inferred from the profit line. The income, margin and return sections above carry the evidence this business does report.

We do not hold quarterly loan-book quality numbers for this bank, so this section states that plainly rather than working around it.

Why: loan-book quality is the engine room of a bank, and its drivers — slippages, recoveries, provisioning — sit below what we hold for this name; the sections around it carry the reads we can stand behind.

09 · The loan book

The loan book We read the loan book through revenue — when the book and the businesses grow, revenue grows with them. It is a rough proxy, and we say so: rate moves and fee swings can shift it a few points in any one year.

Kinsale Capital Group, Inc.'s revenue grew +17.6% in FY25 to $1.9 B, so the book is growing. The latest quarter ran +11.9% year on year. The net margin on that income is 23.4%, +2.0 percentage points against a year ago. Interest income is a proxy for the book; rate moves can shift it a few points in any one year.

FY25 revenue was $1.9 B, +17.6% on the year, and the latest quarter ran +11.9% year on year. The net margin on that revenue is 23.4% this quarter (+2.0 pp YoY) — growth with a widening margin on it.

FY25: revenue $1.9 B (+17.6% YoY) with the net margin at 26.7% Revenue by fiscal year, $ B (bars, left); net margin, % (line, right). 5-year window. A bar is red when it is lower than the year before.

2.027%1.525%1.023%0.521%0.018%$ B%$2B26.7%FY21FY23FY25

The synthesis: a lender compounds when the book grows while the margin holds and the loan book stays clean — with quarterly loan-quality numbers missing here, revenue growth and margin are the two we watch.

10 · Returns on equity and assets

Returns on equity and assets Two numbers rate a bank: ROE — what it earns on shareholder money — and ROA — what it earns on everything it deploys. ROE above ~13–15% earns its keep; below that, growth builds book slowly.

Kinsale Capital Group, Inc. earns a return on equity of 26% in FY25. Its trough over the ladder below was 21% in FY22. On the asset side every $100 of the balance sheet earned about $7.56, which is the return before leverage is applied.

FY25 ROE came in at 26%, recovered from a FY22 trough of 21%. On assets, the latest reading is about 7.56% — every $100 the bank deploys earns roughly $7.56 a year. That clears the bar a bank must beat for its book value to compound.

FY25: ROE 26%, ROA 9.40% Return on equity by fiscal year, % (line, left); return on assets, % (line, right). 5-year window. A lender is judged on ROE and ROA — return on invested capital does not apply to a bank.

Why ROE moved: profit compounded 35.1% a year over 4 years while the equity base grew more slowly — earnings recovering faster than book value builds is what lifts ROE off a trough.

11 · Dividend

Dividend A dividend is cash paid out per share. Dividend per share is the declared amount for the period; the trailing twelve-month total is the four most recent quarters added together.

Kinsale Capital Group, Inc. paid $0.76 per share over the last four reported quarters, up 47.1% on a year ago. The most recent declaration was $0.25 for Mar 26. Against the current price of $363 that is a trailing yield of 0.21%, measured on dividends already paid rather than on a forecast.

Kinsale Capital Group, Inc. paid $0.76 per share across the last four reported quarters, most recently $0.25 for Mar 26. That is up 47.1% against the same quarter a year earlier. Against the current price of $363 the trailing twelve months work out to 0.21% — trailing dividends measured against today's price, not a forward estimate.

12 · Debt

Debt

For a bank, borrowings are raw material, not a warning sign — solvency is read through the returns and the loan book. A manufacturer’s debt is a claim against its profits, so the debt-to-equity lens that works everywhere else misleads on a lender and is not applied here.

A manufacturer’s debt is a claim against its profits; a bank’s borrowings are its inventory — money taken in to be lent out. The debt lens that works everywhere else misleads here, so this page does not apply it. The solvency questions for a bank — is the loan book sound, is the equity earning — are read through the loan-book and returns sections above.

13 · Ownership

Ownership There is no quarter-by-quarter holder register to read here, so we read the crowd through short interest — the slice of tradable shares currently sold short, positioned for a fall.

2.6% of Kinsale Capital Group, Inc.'s tradable float is currently sold short — some money is positioned against it. At typical trading volumes those positions would take about 7.6 days to buy back. There is no quarter-by-quarter holder register to read for this filer, so the crowd is read through short interest instead.

The latest reading: 2.6% of the float is sold short, and at typical trading volumes it would take about 7.6 days to buy those positions back. Some money is positioned against it. This is a single point-in-time reading — we do not yet hold its history, so we show no trend chart.

14 · Safety line

Safety line The Z-score estimates how far a company sits from balance-sheet distress — above roughly 3 is safe, below roughly 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not applied to banks and lenders.

Kinsale Capital Group, Inc.: the Z-score is omitted — it was built for manufacturers, not banks, and applying it here would be theatre. The Z-score was built for manufacturers and is not applied to banks and lenders, so solvency here is read from the capital and asset-quality lines instead.

The safety line in one sentence: the Z-score is omitted — it was built for manufacturers, not banks, and applying it here would be theatre.

Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. Financial companies use P/BV÷ROE and asset quality; PEG, industrial OPM and ROCE are excluded. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.
