What HCI does

Florida-focused homeowners insurance holding company, also active in reinsurance, real estate and insurance technology.

Collects homeowners premiums and keeps what is left after claims and the reinsurance it buys to cover hurricanes, so storm losses and reinsurance cost matter as much as policy growth. It grew partly by taking over policies from Citizens, Florida's state-backed insurer of last resort. TypTap sells policies online.

What could go right

  • Florida P&C hardening market/rate increases
  • Reduced litigation/claims reform benefits

What could go wrong

  • Hurricane/catastrophe concentration in Florida
  • Reinsurance cost volatility

Moat: narrow (regulatory licence, process know-how). Deep Florida catastrophe-underwriting experience and reinsurance relationships are hard to replicate quickly.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
