American Coastal Insurance Corporation (ACIC) declared a special cash dividend of $0.75 per share of common stock, payable on January 9, 2026 to shareholders of record on January 2, 2026. The dividend follows a strong Q3 2025 earnings report in which net income rose 15.5% year‑over‑year to $32.5 million and total revenue grew 10% to $36.5 million, while the combined ratio improved to 56.9%—well below the company’s 65% target.
The payout reflects ACIC’s robust financial position. The company posted a high Piotroski F‑Score, a strong free‑cash‑flow yield, and top ratings from Demotech (A, Exceptional) and Kroll (A‑ insurance financial strength rating with a positive outlook). Management cited exceptional underwriting results and successful investment performance as the primary drivers of the dividend, indicating confidence in continued cash‑generating capacity.
ACIC will host a fireside chat on January 14, 2026 to discuss strategic initiatives and its financial outlook. The company highlighted the launch of a new commercial residential property insurance program targeting assisted and independent living facilities in Florida, a segment expected to drive premium growth in Q4 2025 and beyond. Management also emphasized plans to rebound premium growth and maintain cost discipline as part of its long‑term strategy.
While the dividend signals strong financial health, some analysts note potential concerns about reinvestment opportunities and projected earnings declines over the next three years. Management reiterated its focus on cost discipline and strategic investments in high‑return verticals, underscoring confidence in sustaining profitability while pursuing growth opportunities.
