Palomar Holdings, Inc. (PLMR) is a La Jolla, California-based specialty property and casualty insurer founded in 2013 and listed on NASDAQ since April 2019. The company underwrites niche personal and commercial lines that are often underserved by standard carriers, including residential and commercial earthquake, inland marine, Hawaii hurricane, excess national property, residential flood, and crop coverage, alongside assumed reinsurance and fronting arrangements. Distribution is conducted through retail agents, program administrators, wholesale brokers, and strategic partnerships, reflecting a multi-channel specialty model rather than direct-to-consumer sales. Originally named GC Palomar Holdings, the firm focuses on catastrophe-exposed and specialty risks, a segment in which insurers typically rely on reinsurance and capital partners to manage tail exposure and earnings volatility.
- Earthquake catastrophe losses pressure combined ratio and margins
- Specialty premium growth across new product lines accelerates
