About Lemonade
Lemonade's mission is to become the most loved insurance company in the world. As a customer-centric tech company, we created an insurance experience across Renters, Home, Pet, Car, and Life that is smart, instant, and delightful. Our team of 1,200+ Lemonade Makers make it possible for over 3M customers throughout the US, UK and Europe to get coverage instantly, with nearly half of claims paid in a matter of seconds. Powered by AI and social impact, Lemonade is a purpose-built, technology-first insurance carrier. A Certified B-Corp, our commitment to social impact is embedded in every aspect of the company, and our Giveback program, which donates a percentage of leftover premiums to nonprofits selected by our community, has donated over $10M to organizations in need.
Lemonade (LMND +4.35%) stock isn't having a great year. The insurance technology company's stock is down 7% year-to-date after skyrocketing 341% between 2024 and 2025.
But I think it could reach $100 next year, implying a 40% increase from today's price. Here's why.
A different kind of insurance company When Lemonade opened its virtual doors just about a decade ago, it set out to create a different kind of insurance company. The two main ways it differentiates itself are its digital foundation and its status as a certified B-Corp, which means it has a social mission. It allows customers to donate some of their funds to nonprofits through its "giveback" program.

That attracts a certain kind of customer, but these days it's a tech-first, artificial intelligence-driven business attracting hundreds of thousands of new users who are just looking for a better insurance experience.
Growth has been phenomenal over the 10 years Lemonade has been in business, and it's recently been accelerating. The 2026 first quarter was the 10th consecutive quarter of accelerating in-force premium (IFP), which measures the amount of policy premium "in force" at a given time and is the standard top-line metric for insurance companies. It increased 32% year over year in the first quarter. Revenue is growing even faster, up 71% in the quarter.

The company added almost 600,000 new customers over the trailing 12 months, a 23% increase, to 3.1 million in the first quarter, and premium per customer was up 7% to $424, implying that its cross-sell strategy is working.
What will change in 2027? Since Lemonade has gotten its loss ratio under control, the stock has soared. Its next big goal is to become profitable, and it's getting closer. Management is guiding to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) turning positive by the end of this year and net income turning positive next year.
If it can reach those goals, the stock is likely to reflect that, and it can continue to rise without becoming more expensive. Right now, Lemonade stock trades at 6.8 times trailing-12-month sales. If sales continue to grow at current rates, Lemonade stock can gain 70% without becoming more expensive. If it becomes profitable while maintaining high growth rates, it should easily surpass $100 next year.

Long before artificial intelligence (AI) went mainstream with tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT, Lemonade (LMND 2.24%) harnessed AI to rethink insurance. From simplifying the process of purchasing coverage to streamlining claims processing, Lemonade made waves across the insurance industry when it went public in 2020.
It's been a bumpy ride for Lemonade investors, who saw the stock surge to $188 per share following its public debut, only to fall to around $10 per share in late 2023. Lately, the company has found its footing, seeing progress in its underwriting models, and has decided to trust them and transfer less risk to its reinsurer.
With Lemonade reducing its reinsurance coverage, investors may be wondering whether this signals confidence in its improving models or a warning that extra risk may not be worth the squeeze. Let's dive into the numbers to find out.
Image source: The Motley Fool.
Lemonade's AI-driven insurance business is making strides Lemonade has spent the past several years upending the insurance industry with its AI-centric business model. The company has taken many traditional insurance practices -- from pricing, claims, and customer service -- and incorporated AI into them to automate processes, lower operating costs, and improve underwriting capabilities.
The insurance industry is notoriously difficult to break into because legacy competitors have major competitive advantages through decades of accumulated risk data, established distribution networks, and recognized brand names. Because competition in the space is fierce, companies must navigate an environment in which they can price risk appropriately to build their customer base while maintaining prudent risk management.
In recent years, Lemonade has made tremendous progress in improving its gross loss ratio, which measures losses and loss adjustments (claims costs) relative to gross earned premiums. In the first quarter, Lemonade's 62% gross loss ratio was a drastic improvement from 83% in Q1 2024 and 73% in the first quarter of last year.

Here's why Lemonade's recent move matters to investors As Lemonade's AI-driven underwriting improves, the company has reduced its quota-share reinsurance transfer (ceded premiums) from 20% of gross written premiums to 18%. Reinsurance is used by insurance companies to transfer a portion of risk to other insurers, and on July 1, the company renegotiated its reinsurance agreement to retain more risk.
Lemonade accomplished this while strengthening protection against the most severe catastrophe scenarios, suggesting management and its reinsurer are more confident in its underwriting and willing to assume more ordinary insurance risk without increasing exposure to extreme losses.
Data by YCharts.
For investors, the move exposes Lemonade to additional risks but also indicates that the company is growing into a more mature insurer, as it trusts its AI-driven underwriting to deliver more consistent results. The company still needs to improve its overall profitability, but with its improving loss ratio and higher retained premiums, Lemonade looks like a promising insurance growth stock with long-term upside potential.

Lemonade (LMND 8.65%) stock was nearly as sour as its favorite fruit on Wednesday, at least as far as its stock was concerned. Shares of the insurer dived by nearly 9% during that trading session after an analyst at an influential investment bank downgraded his recommendation on the stock.
Time for a downgrade Well before market open that day, Morgan Stanley's Bob Huang moved his Lemonade rating down one peg to equalweight (read: hold) from his preceding overweight (buy). He also set a price target of $75 per share.

According to reports, while Huang feels that the company's momentum continues to be strong, the company requires a new catalyst to justify its current price levels. These have risen by around 50% over the past few weeks, the analyst pointed out.
For him, the development to watch will be how the next-generation insurer manages what he considers to be a "softening" auto insurance market. That's a challenge in and of itself, and will be something of a test to see how well it can cope.

Look past the price I'd agree with Huang about Lemonade's positive momentum, particularly given the sweetened reinsurance program it recently announced. Yes, the shares look expensive, but the company has lately proved it can be quite the nimble and effective operator in an always-competitive field. I'm more positive on its potential for gains than the Morgan Stanley analyst; I'd even consider it a buy candidate.

Key Takeaways LMND benefits from AI-led underwriting, claims automation and rising multi-policy adoption.In-force premium reached $1.33 billion, marking the 10th consecutive quarter of accelerating growth.Lemonade's reinsurance strategy, improving margins and positive free cash flow support its profitability path. Shares of Lemonade (LMND - Free Report) have gained 88.7% in the past year, outperforming the industry’s growth of 8.2%.
Strong premium growth, improving underwriting performance and continued progress toward profitability have driven the stock. Growth in in-force premium, expanding multi-policy adoption, Lemonade auto and its AI-driven platform have supported revenue growth and operating efficiency. While sustained premium growth, improving profitability and higher customer retention could support further upside, the stock's premium valuation may limit multiple expansion. The company has surpassed earnings estimates in each of the last four quarters, with an average of 25.8%.
Lemonade’s shares have outperformed its peers, including EverQuote Inc. (EVER - Free Report) and Hamilton Insurance (HG - Free Report) , which have gained 7% and 63.4%, respectively, while Root Inc. (ROOT - Free Report) has lost 46.5% in a year.

Factors in Favor of LMNDLemonade's AI-driven operating model enhances underwriting, pricing, claims automation and customer service, supporting a scalable, low-cost business model. The company's operating efficiency continues to improve, with in-force premium per employee exceeding $1 billion in the first quarter of 2026, nearly tripling over the past four years. Meanwhile, underwriting performance continues to improve, with the gross loss ratio declining despite winter storm-related losses. Disciplined underwriting and favorable prior-year reserve development drove a 159% increase in gross profit in the first quarter, reinforcing the company's path toward sustained profitability.
Pet Insurance and Lemonade Auto continue to post strong growth, while rising multi-policy adoption improves customer retention and lifetime value, supporting long-term premium growth. Its multi-product strategy enhances customer lifetime value through cross-selling opportunities while supporting a recurring, subscription-like revenue model. Strong customer retention and engagement continue to fuel growth, with management forecasting 32% revenue growth for the second quarter and 33% for full-year 2026.
Lemonade’s in-force premium (IFP) reached $1.33 billion at the end of first-quarter 2026, marking the 10th straight quarter of accelerating growth. This momentum reflects the growing contribution of its AI- and automation-driven platform, which enables efficient scaling. Customer growth and higher premiums per customer continue to drive premium expansion. Management has outlined a long-term goal of increasing IFP to $10 billion.
A major strength of the business is its reinsurance strategy, which shifts a substantial portion of claims risk to partners, helping stabilize earnings and reduce volatility. Strong premium growth and a lower reinsurance ceding rate enable the company to retain a larger share of premiums, contributing to revenues. Management expects the favorable reinsurance structure to continue supporting results through at least mid-2026.
Although profitability remains a challenge, margins are improving, free cash flow has turned positive, and management expects EBITDA profitability by the fourth quarter of 2026. Lemonade exited the first quarter with approximately $1.1 billion in cash and investments and raised its full-year 2026 outlook, reflecting confidence in sustained premium growth, improving profitability and continued business momentum.
Risks for LMNDLemonade's premium valuation remains a key concern. It trades at a 12-month trailing price-to-book ratio of 11.67X, well above the industry average of 2.96X and its three-year median of 3.97X. The elevated valuation leaves limited room for multiple expansion.
The company's results also remain exposed to catastrophe losses. Although weather-related claims were manageable in the first quarter, severe storms, hurricanes, wildfires or other catastrophic events could materially increase claims costs, pressure underwriting margins and lead to earnings volatility.
Additionally, Lemonade continues to invest heavily in customer acquisition. Sales and marketing expenses rose more than 50% year over year in the first quarter of 2026. These could weigh on margins if customer acquisition and retention fail to deliver adequate returns. While marketing efficiency remains strong, maintaining it will be important for long-term profitability.
ConclusionLemonade is well-positioned for long-term growth, supported by strong premium expansion, an AI-driven operating model and improving profitability. Its diversified product portfolio, disciplined underwriting and reinsurance strategy strengthen its competitive position. Its favorable growth estimates and positive free cash flow are other positives.
However, given a premium valuation and catastrophe exposure remain key risks, it is wise to adopt a wait-and-see approach for this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) insurer. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

A favorable new deal should bolster Lemonade's profitability The market continues to reprice Lemonade's shares following its announcement on June 30 that it renewed its reinsurance program on significantly better terms.
Lemonade will now cede about 18% of premium to reinsurers, down from a prior 20%. The new agreement also increases Lemonade's catastrophe protection.

Reinsurers provide insurance to other insurance companies. They take on a portion of the liabilities in exchange for some of the premium.
The new terms are set to boost Lemonade's profits, while also reducing its risks. That's a good deal for shareholders.
"This renewal improves Lemonade's reinsurance economics, coverage, and capital efficiency at the same time," chief financial officer Tim Bixby said. "We are retaining more premium, adding protection against the volatility that matters most, and doing so on terms that are attractive on a risk-adjusted basis."
AI is fueling Lemonade's growth With hassle-free service, minimal paperwork, and competitive rates, Lemonade is winning new business at an impressive clip. The AI-driven insurer's revenue soared 71% to $258 million in the first quarter, driven by a 23% jump in customers and a 32% rise in in-force premium to $1.3 billion.
Management said in its Q1 letter to shareholders that Lemonade is on track to achieve positive earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) in the fourth quarter.

With a single change it recently made in its operations, Lemonade (LMND +3.17%) stands to become significantly more profitable. On this major development, investors piled into the stock this holiday-shortened trading week to lift it to a nearly 24% increase, according to data compiled by S&P Global Market Intelligence.
A refreshed reinsurance regime On Tuesday, Lemonade announced it has renewed its reinsurance program (reinsurance is insurance for insurers, protecting them against a sudden wave of claims in catastrophic events). That wouldn't be anything earth-shaking, usually, but the company also managed to renegotiate it to effectively retain more of its premiums.
Image source: Getty Images.
Lemonade said it managed to lower the quota share cession in the program, i.e., the portion of its premiums paid to the reinsurer for coverage. Under the new regime, this is around 18%; previously it was roughly 20%. At the same time, the insurer will benefit from expanded protection against catastrophic and major weather events.
In the press release touting the adjustment, the company said it advocated for it to "retain more of the economics from its growing business."
The new reinsurance program is expected to be in force for a standard 12-month term. Lemonade did not provide any estimates as to how it would affect company fundamentals.

Fundamental benefits In a way, that almost doesn't matter.
A refreshed reinsurance agreement that will allow Lemonade to retain more of its premium income can't help but benefit its finances. Also, the fact that its reinsurer was willing to accept a lower quota share cession while simultaneously broadening the arrangement's protections shows that it increasingly views the company as an effective and viable underwriter.
Eric Volkman has no position in any of the stocks mentioned. The Motley Fool has positions in and recommends Lemonade. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.
Shares of Lemonade (LMND +6.38%) stock jumped 12% in June, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. The digital insurance start-up gave shareholders some good news about its reinsurance program.
A different kind of insurance company Lemonade set out to disrupt insurance with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning long before they became today's catchphrases, and it's harnessing the technology to create a better insurance company.
Since it's just over a decade old, it's still building up its business. It's attracting new members at a rapid pace, cross-selling existing customers to bundles and new policies, and edging closer to profitability.
Image source: Getty Images.
Part of developing the business has been working with third-party reinsurers. Reinsurance programs work as "extra" insurance in the case of catastrophes, and in the past, Lemonade has ceded a high rate to its third-party partners to cover the extras. As its economics improve, it has been renegotiating the deals down so it keeps more of the good stuff while retaining the extra coverage.
This week, Lemonade said that its newest agreement cedes 18% of premiums, down from 20%, allowing it to keep more of the gross profit. The implications of that are clear: more of the premiums will flow to the bottom line without any other changes. At the same time, the new deal has even better coverage, plus a new partner, widening its reinsurance base. Altogether, management believes it's much better than its previous agreement, and it's easy to see why the market is giving this news a thumbs-up.
Profits on the horizon Lemonade isn't profitable yet, but management has been guiding for positive adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) by the end of this year and positive net income next year.

In-force premium (IFP), the average total of premiums at a given time, and the top-line metric commonly used by insurance companies, has been increasing at an accelerated rate for 10 quarters already. Lemonade has a steady road to further growth as it rolls out new products in new regions and attracts new users. This has come at a price, though, in high rollout expenses.
However, accelerating IFP (and revenue) will start to cover more expenses, and AI is helping the company keep operating costs steady. As AI algorithms help reduce its loss ratio, it's also keeping more of each policy's premium. Adding the higher gross profit from its new agreements, it's likely to hit its goal of becoming profitable on an adjusted EBITDA basis, and the stock will reflect that.

Betting it all on AI Lemonade operates with the primary goal of providing the best insurance experience for its customers. There are no physical branches or sales agents. It's a digital and direct-to-consumer business model with AI at the core. That focus on applying AI makes complete sense given how data-heavy this industry is, with proper risk management being a non-negotiable priority.
The company's adoption has been unbelievable. As of March 31, Lemonade had over 3.1 million customers. This is about 182% higher than the 1.1 million it had five years earlier. In-force premiums soared 429% during that time, which propelled revenue 11-fold.
Younger consumers are flocking to the platform. Lemonade says that 70% of its policyholders are under the age of 35. Compared to traditional rivals, this is 10 years younger. This is a very attractive setup for the business, as it can establish a relationship early on and offer insurance products at various stages of customers' lives.
If investors already have meaningful exposure to Nvidia or the top cloud computing stocks and want to find under-the-radar AI opportunities, it's hard not to come away impressed by what Lemonade has built. Although not known for being tech-savvy and forward-thinking, insurance is a huge market that Lemonade is entering.

Investors should focus on profits No one will argue with the view that Lemonade has found product-market fit. However, a huge unanswered question remains: Will the company ever become consistently profitable? The investment thesis rests on this unknown.
Management believes Lemonade will record positive adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) in the fourth quarter of this year for the first time. That's a step in the right direction, but investors shouldn't put too much weight on this metric.
The consensus view among Wall Street sell-side analysts, professionals who follow this company closely, is that Lemonade won't register positive earnings per share until 2028. That means investors will have to deal with net losses in the meantime.
After a monster 249% trailing-three-year gain, it might be too late to buy this exciting growth stock. That stance could change once investors have clear visibility into Lemonade's earnings trajectory.
Lemonade (LMND) saw its shares surge in the last session with trading volume being higher than average. The latest trend in earnings estimate revisions may not translate into further price increase in the near term.
Lemonade (LMND +0.07%) has become a popular insurance technology company over the past few years. Insurance is an industry full of legacy players, with some giants that are more than a century old, and it was ripe for disruption with the advent of artificial intelligence (AI).
Although it got off to a bumpy start, losing more than 90% of its value at one point, Lemonade stock has made a sustained comeback, up 247% over the past three years. Can it do a repeat performance?
Sweetening the deal Lemonade is a digital insurance company that relies on AI and machine learning to price policies, onboard customers, and approve claims. This removes human intervention as much as possible, making for a simpler, quicker, and more transparent experience. At some point, it should be cheaper to operate as well.
For now, it's adding customers at a rapid pace, including a 23% year-over-year increase in the 2026 first quarter to over 3 million in total; that's double the count from 2022.

In-force premium (IFP), the standard top-line metric for insurance companies, has accelerated over the past 10 quarters, rising 32% year over year in the first quarter, while gross margin improved from 26% to 39%.
The main reason the stock bounced back and has performed so well over the past few years is the improvement in its loss ratio. That measures how much Lemonade pays out in claims, and it's been trending down. At 62% in the first quarter, it's well within the target range and comparable to other insurance companies.
Management believes it has an edge over legacy companies because its digital parts are interconnected and work together. The larger, older companies are all moving toward this model, but even though Lemonade is younger, it has a head start here. Here, being smaller also works in its favor, since it's more agile and can make changes more easily.
What happens next Right now, Lemonade is still in rollout mode, and it has high expenses. That's eating into its profits, and it's still reporting losses even on an adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) basis.

Management is guiding for positive adjusted EBITDA by the end of this year and positive net income next year. From there, it envisions becoming much more profitable as AI and machine learning do their work.
So can Lemonade stock triple over the next three years? It trades at a price-to-sales ratio of 6, which is fair considering its growth. Revenue increased 71% in the first quarter, also an acceleration, so let's choose 50% as a possible compound annual growth rate (CAGR). In that case, trailing-12-month revenue would reach $2.4 billion from $725 million today, and keeping the price-to-sales ratio constant, the stock would indeed triple.
This is just one scenario. Revenue growth could decelerate further, and the price-to-sales ratio could go down. But as it becomes profitable, it's possible the stock could triple over the next three years.
DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lemonade (NYSE: LMND), the technology-driven insurance company, today announced that its Autonomous Car insurance is now available in Colorado.
Lemonade Autonomous Car is a first-of-its-kind product that gives Tesla owners 50% off every mile driven using Tesla's Full Self-Driving (Supervised) technology.
"Today, we're bringing Lemonade Autonomous Car to Tesla drivers in Colorado.

That's a notable winning streak that can catch the attention of the investment community.

Growth is not an issue for Lemonade The insurance industry is one of the oldest. Lemonade wants to bring it into the digital age. By integrating AI and machine learning capabilities throughout its organization, the business aims to provide its customers with a superior experience.
Lemonade operates with a direct-to-consumer and purely digital model. The company says that individuals can sign up for a new policy (using a tool called AI Maya) in as little as 90 seconds. For existing policyholders, more than half of claims are paid out instantly (using AI Jim). There is minimal human intervention, as these processes are increasingly being automated.
The growth trends prove that this business model has found remarkable product-market fit. During the first quarter (ended March 31), Lemonade reported a 23% year-over-year jump in customers to over 3.1 million, while its in-force premium surged 32% to $1.3 billion. Revenue was up 71%.
Lemonade started out in 2015 by only offering renters and homeowners insurance. Today, its product suite has expanded to include car, pet, and term life insurance. Besides the U.S., it serves customers in Europe.

Waiting for consistent profits While Lemonade stock caters to growth investors, it has not yet reached profitability. The net loss was a reported $165.5 million in 2025. The consensus view among analysts is that Lemonade will generate positive GAAP net income in 2028. Investors will need to be patient.
However, the business is making progress.
The net loss ratio, which Lemonade defines as the "ratio of losses and loss adjustment expense, less amounts ceded to reinsurers, to net earned premium," improved to 63% in Q1 from 82% in the year-ago period.
Management is forecasting positive adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) in the fourth quarter, which would be a first for the company.
These are encouraging trends. The leadership team must continue to run the business with operational and risk discipline to become profitable sooner rather than later. Efficiency gains from AI, demonstrated by surging in-force premium per employee, help to control costs.
As is the case with any early-stage and unprofitable company, Lemonade presents investors with a high-risk/high-reward opportunity. Only those who are comfortable with more uncertainty should consider buying shares. Even then, perhaps Lemonade should be limited to 1% of a diversified portfolio.

Over the past few weeks, many artificial intelligence (AI) companies have reported strong growth, fueling renewed confidence and market highs. The S&P 500 is 8% as of this writing.
If you're looking for excellent stocks to add to your portfolio to ride the wave higher, I recommend Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM +0.46%), Amazon (AMZN 1.24%), and Lemonade (LMND +0.47%). They all feature strong AI components, and they also have excellent long-term prospects beyond current trends.

1. Taiwan Semiconductor Taiwan Semiconductor, or TMSC, has been reporting fantastic results in a pattern that should make every investor look twice. The chip manufacturer is a partner to most of the major global tech companies, and today it plays a major role in AI development. Every chip company or tech company that's demonstrating strong growth points to continued momentum for TSMC.

Its earnings reports typically precede those of other tech companies and are a good signal of what's to come. In the 2026 first quarter, revenue increased 41% year over year, and gross margin expanded 7.4 percentage points to 66.2%. That's more like a service company, even though TSMC makes hardware. Operating margin was 58.1%, 9.6 percentage points higher than last year.
AI is its strongest growth driver right now. It's part of the high-performance computing segment, which was up 20% quarter over quarter and accounted for 61% of total revenue. As hyperscalers continue to build out and spend, Taiwan Semiconductor will get a piece of the action.
For the second quarter, management is projecting a 35% year-over-year increase in revenue, a 66% gross margin, and a 57.5% operating margin. Although that's a confidence-boosting outlook, it warned that the second half of the year would be tougher. It's dealing with increased prices and its own expansion efforts, including its new U.S.-based facilities. However, it expects the expansion to help it meet soaring demand.
TSMC stock should keep rising alongside AI, which is why it's a great time to buy.
2. Amazon Amazon just reported outstanding first-quarter results with accelerated revenue growth, particularly in Amazon Web Services (AWS). CEO Andy Jassy's reassurance that its spend will pay off is happening, and his belief that customer spend will shift to the cloud seems to be coming true.
There was tremendous growth all over AWS and the AI platform. AWS continues to sign new deals with high-profile clients like U.S. Bank, AT&T, and Bloomberg, and Jassy said that clients engaging with AI through AWS are also spending more on core cloud services.
AI was the showstopper in the report, with triple-digit revenue growth and a plethora of high-value services. The chips business alone has a $20 billion run rate, and it's a complete stand-alone, serving many other companies besides Amazon.

The e-commerce business is also in excellent shape, and Amazon is reaching more customers with same-day shipping. It keeps getting faster, and it can now ship more than 90,000 items to customers in 2,000 cities within three hours.
The ad business is also demonstrating phenomenal performance, with AI leading to improved results and targeted campaigns, and sales were up 24% year over year.
While there were many other excellent updates, one notable one is the development of Amazon Leo, its satellite broadband business that is just getting ready for launch. Amazon is back on the upswing, and you can still get in for the ride.
3. Lemonade Lemonade is an AI insurance disruptor that's growing by leaps and bounds. Although it's still a tiny outfit compared with the huge, legacy insurance companies, it presents a clear threat through its digital-native platform.
Customers are already sensing it, and they continue to join at a rapid pace. In the first quarter, in-force premium (IFP), the insurance company's top-line metric, increased 32% year over year, a trend of acceleration that's been ongoing for seven quarters.

The company touts its AI and machine learning algorithms that drive efficiency, so as IFP grows, spending has been roughly flat. That's been leading to improved profitability. And although it's still reporting losses, management is guiding for positive adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) by the end of this year and positive net income next year.
Lemonade is the only stock on this list that hasn't been getting market love lately, but that just gives smart investors an opportunity to buy more stock before it soars again.

Growth Estimates for LMNDThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s 2026 and 2027 earnings indicates a 25.5% and 54.7% year-over-year decline, respectively. The consensus estimates for 2026 and 2027 revenues suggest year-over-year improvements. LMND has a Growth Score of A.
Factors in Favor of LMNDLemonade is a technology-driven insurer that uses data analytics, artificial intelligence and automation to improve efficiency and create a scalable, low-cost operating model. Originally focused on renters and homeowners insurance, the company has expanded into auto, pet and life insurance, supported partly by its acquisition of Metromile. This diversification has broadened revenue sources and reduced reliance on a single business line.
Its multi-product strategy enhances customer lifetime value through cross-selling opportunities while supporting a recurring, subscription-like revenue model. Strong customer retention and engagement continue to fuel growth, with management forecasting 32% revenue growth for the second quarter and 33% for full-year 2026. The auto insurance segment has been particularly strong, with further acceleration expected from expansion into additional states and increased brand investments.
Lemonade’s in-force premium (IFP) reached $1.33 billion in the first quarter, marking the 10th straight quarter of accelerating growth. This momentum reflects the growing contribution of its AI- and automation-driven platform, which enables efficient scaling. Management has outlined a long-term goal of increasing IFP to $10 billion.
A major strength of the business is its reinsurance strategy, which shifts a substantial portion of claims risk to partners, helping stabilize earnings and reduce volatility. At the same time, Lemonade continues investing in proprietary AI systems such as AI Maya and AI Jim to streamline underwriting and claims processing, contributing to improved efficiency and a relatively low loss adjustment expense ratio.
Although profitability remains a challenge, margins are improving, free cash flow has turned positive, and management expects EBITDA profitability by the fourth quarter of 2026.
Parting Thoughts on LMND StockLemonade is focused on expanding its business through strategic acquisitions and by focusing on its car insurance segment, which management views as a major future growth driver. In addition to strengthening its presence in renters, homeowners, pet and life insurance, the company continues to diversify its offerings and broaden its market reach.
By leveraging technology, automation and artificial intelligence, Lemonade aims to improve operational efficiency, strengthen its competitive position and scale its business more effectively. The company has also established ambitious in-force premium growth targets, reflecting its long-term objective of achieving tenfold expansion.
However, given a premium valuation and persisting earnings pressure, it is wise to adopt a wait-and-see approach for this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) insurer. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
What happenedAccording to a SEC filing dated May 13, 2026, BIT Capital GmbH reduced its stake in Lemonade (LMND +0.47%) by 1,242,797 shares during the first quarter. The estimated transaction value is $86.01 million, calculated using the average unadjusted closing price for the period.

The company’s strategy centers on leveraging data science and automation to disrupt traditional insurance processes, aiming for operational efficiency and superior customer experience. Its competitive edge lies in its digital-first approach, rapid claims handling, and appeal to younger, tech-savvy policyholders.
What this transaction means for investorsAt the end of 2025, Lemonade was a top holding for BIT Capital of Berlin, Germany. After selling off more than two-thirds of its shares, the digital insurance provider isn’t even a top 10 holding.
If BIT Capital decided to sell its Lemonade stock early in the first quarter, the sale is working out well for the firm. The stock is down 46.8% from the peak it set in January.
Lemonade’s stock price is down this year despite posting encouraging first-quarter results on April 29, 2026. The company raised its total customer count by 23% year over year to 3.14 million. Moreover, it grew in popularity without cutting prices. The average premium per customer rose 7% year over year.
Despite strong growth when it comes to finding new customers, Lemonade hasn’t been reporting profits. In the first quarter, the company reported a $35.8 million net loss. It’s probably best to wait until after we see proof that Lemonade’s mostly automated underwriting process leads to profits before taking a risk on the stock.

Lemonade (LMND +0.47%), the online insurance company that relies on AI chatbots to onboard customers and process claims, took its investors on a wild ride after its 2020 IPO. It went public at $29, hit a record high of $183.26 in Jan. 2021, but now trades at about $56.
Lemonade is still a divisive stock. The bulls believe it will disrupt traditional insurance companies by simplifying the insurance-buying process with its AI-powered platform. Still, the bears argue that its moat is too narrow and its operating costs are too high. But if we take a closer look at its numbers, we'll see that its big bet on AI-powered insurance is paying off.

What happened to Lemonade after its market debut? When Lemonade went public, it only offered homeowners and renters insurance. But over the following years, it expanded into the term life, pet health, and auto insurance markets. Its 2022 acquisition of Metromile significantly expanded its auto insurance business.

Lemonade's customer count more than tripled -- from 1.00 million at the end of 2021 to 3.14 million in the first quarter of 2026 -- as it attracted younger and first-time insurance buyers. Its in-force premiums (IFP) and gross earned premiums (GEP) also consistently grew by the double digits, while its gross loss ratio declined and its adjusted gross margins expanded.
What will happen to Lemonade over the next few years? For 2026, Lemonade expects its IFP to rise 32%, its GEP to grow 30%-31%, and its total revenue to increase 62%-63%. Over the long term, it expects its IFP to surge from $1.24 billion in 2025 to $10 billion as it gains more customers and launches new insurance products.
From 2025 to 2028, analysts expect its revenue to grow at a 42% CAGR. They also expect its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) to turn positive in 2027 and rise nearly fivefold in 2028. With an enterprise value of $4.6 billion, Lemonade's stock still looks reasonably valued at less than four times this year's sales.
Lemonade's accelerating IFP and GEP growth suggests it's carving out a niche in the crowded insurance market, and its declining gross loss ratios suggest its business is sustainable. Its stock could remain volatile, but I believe it has plenty of room to run over the next few years.

About Lemonade
Lemonade offers renters, homeowners, car, pet, and life insurance. Powered by artificial intelligence and social impact, Lemonade’s full stack insurance carriers in the US and the EU replace brokers and bureaucracy with bots and machine learning, aiming for zero paperwork and instant everything. A Certified B-Corp, Lemonade gives unused premiums to nonprofits selected by its community, during its annual Giveback. Lemonade is currently available in the United States, Germany, the Netherlands, France, and the UK, and continues to expand globally.
Lemonade (LMND +0.47%) has been a divisive stock over its six years as a public company.
While it's demonstrating powerful growth and introducing an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven alternative in a stodgy, traditional industry, does it really have a distinctive edge? And given its ongoing losses, the delightful approach to insurance may not actually be the better one.
Image source: Getty Images.
However, Lemonade's profits have been improving, and it's showing the naysayers that it can actually run an efficient, money-making insurance business that offers customers a positive experience. The way investors can see that isn't in the growth, which has been compelling from day one, but in the company's loss ratio.
Here's the real story on why Lemonade may be more of a competitor than some investors might think.
Lemonade is showing incredible potential as an insurance business. Its chatbots handle onboarding and claims processing, and that's attracting hundreds of thousands of new members looking for a better insurance experience. In-force premium (IFP), the top-line metric for insurance companies, increased 32% year over year in the 2026 first quarter and continues to accelerate even as the base grows, an impressive feat. IFP is the average annual premium, which is why it tells a more important story than revenue. Revenue, though, is also growing fast, up 71%.
However, anyone in business knows that sales growth is not enough. A company only really makes money if revenue growth outpaces costs, and there are net profits at the end. That's why the market has been iffy about Lemonade, which has yet to report a profit even on an adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) basis.

Many excellent companies spent years building their businesses before they scaled enough to become profitable, and Lemonade is confident that it can get there, and at this point, soon. Management touts, for example, that IFP is rapidly outpacing expenses, and employee count has decreased as IFP accelerates. It's guiding for break-even adjusted EBITDA by the end of this year and positive net income next year.
Why the loss ratio matters For insurance companies, an added profitability metric that determines whether they will make money is the loss ratio. This measures how much the company pays out in claims. Obviously, it needs to be below 100%, because the company will otherwise end up with nothing left.
Lemonade's long-term goal is to keep the loss ratio under 70%, and as underwriting improves, that's been happening.
Here's how it's played out over the past year:
MetricQ1 26Q4 25Q3 25Q2 25Q1 25Gross loss ratio62%52%62%67%78%Gross loss ratio TTM61%64%67%70%73%Net loss ratio63%53%64%69%82% Data source: Lemonade quarterly reports.
As AI algorithms continue their work, keeping costs down and matching rates to risk more efficiently, Lemonade is getting closer to net profitability. Management is aiming for that to happen next year, at which point the company could really take off.
Lemonade (LMND +0.47%) has been an outstanding stock to own over the past three years, with a 229% gain, inclusive of its recent 40% drop from its 2025 high.
It's just over a decade old, and it already has over 3 million customers. Growth has been strong from the get-go, and it's been accelerating over the past few years. But clearly, the market is looking for something else right now. Here's what it would take for Lemonade stock to move higher.
High growth, low loss ratio Lemonade's in-force premium growth has been accelerating for the past eight quarters, reaching 32% in the 2026 first quarter. Customer count was up 23% year over year, while premium per customer increased 7% to $424.

CEO Daniel Schreiber recently penned an essay called "Why Incumbents Won't Catch Up," explaining why Lemonade has an edge over legacy insurers. He explains that it was built on a digital substrate that incorporates a range of interconnected artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning processes. "Lemonade did not begin as an insurance company that adopted AI. We began as an AI-native company that entered insurance," he says.
Beyond its chatbots, which onboard customers and review claims without human intervention -- with approvals coming as fast as one minute -- Lemonade sees its edge in its underwriting and the interconnected nature of its business. Everything goes much faster and becomes more accurate.
That's most noticeable right now in the company's loss ratio. As more data enters the system and Lemonade upgrades its algorithms, the loss ratio, which measures the percentage of policies paid out in claims, has been declining. The gross loss ratio improved from 78% last year to 62% in the 2026 first quarter, well below the company's 70% target.

What's holding Lemonade stock back? What hasn't happened yet is Lemonade turning a profit. As it scales, revenue growth is leading to improvement on the bottom line, but it's still not positive. Gross profit increased 159% year over year in the first quarter, driven by higher revenue and a lower loss ratio, and adjusted free cash flow was $17 million. But it's still reporting losses even on an adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) basis, and as the stock climbed, it was becoming more expensive.
It now trades at a price-to-sales ratio of 6, which I see as very reasonable for a growth stock. However, the market is waiting for profits. Lemonade's management is guiding for positive adjusted EBITDA by the end of the year, which might be what it takes to get the price moving again.

North Dakota Renters Can Now Get Fast, Affordable Coverage Starting at $5 Per Month June 09, 2026 08:00 ET | Source: Lemonade, Inc
New York City, NY, June 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lemonade (NYSE: LMND), the tech-first insurance company, today announced the availability of its renters insurance in North Dakota. The expansion gives renters across the state a simple, fast way to get coverage that fits their lifestyles.
Lemonade Renters provides flexible coverage options via an app where renters can get quotes, purchase policies, update existing policies, and file claims, all in one place. About 40% of claims are handled instantly, helping renters receive assistance more quickly after a covered loss.
"North Dakota represents another important step in Lemonade's continued expansion across the United States," said Dan Timsit, Head of Renters Insurance at Lemonade. "Our goal is to make insurance easier to understand, easier to access, and easier to manage. We're excited to offer North Dakota renters a modern alternative to traditional insurance."
Coverage starts at just $5 per month, making it one of the more affordable renters insurance options available. Based on company and industry data, Lemonade's renters insurance rates are approximately 30% lower than the national average.
Customers may also be eligible for additional savings through policy bundling, having qualifying home safety devices, or choosing annual billing.
Lemonade currently serves more than 3 million active customers and has earned recognition from organizations and publications including Forbes, CNBC, and U.S. News & World Report for its insurance products and customer experience.

The Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC +0.31%) index is down 7.5% from its recent all-time high as I write this, led by sharp declines in many of the semiconductor stocks at the center of the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution. Investors are worried about the sustainability of the AI infrastructure spending boom, but this might be creating an opportunity for investors.
Meta Platforms (META 0.14%) is a major buyer of AI chips, but Wall Street might welcome a spending slowdown (if one were to eventuate), because it would allow the company to retain more of the substantial cash flow from its social media advertising business. Then there's Lemonade (LMND +0.47%), which is having incredible success in transforming the insurance industry using AI.
These two stocks trade at attractive valuations right now, so here's why they might be great long-term buys during the latest bout of tech market volatility.
Image source: The Motley Fool.
The case for Meta Platforms Meta owns social media platforms Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, which are visited by more than 3.5 billion people every day. Since the company has already captured almost half the world's population, it's becoming harder to attract new users, so now it's trying to boost engagement instead. If each existing user spends more time online each day, they will see more ads, and Meta will make more money.
AI is a powerful tool in that respect. Meta embedded it into its recommendation algorithms, where it learns which types of content each user enjoys and shows them more of it to keep them online. But CEO Mark Zuckerberg says the company's latest AI models can achieve a much deeper understanding of every picture and video on Facebook and Instagram, as well as every user's goals, paving the way for the most accurate content recommendations yet.
Zuckerberg believes AI will reach a point where it's even creating customized content tailored to Meta's users' preferences. Therefore, Facebook won't simply offer entertainment; it will become a place where people can improve their lives, whether they want to learn how to cook or how to manage their finances. This should lead to much higher engagement over the long term.

Meta generated $56.3 billion in revenue during the first quarter of 2026 (ended March 31), a 33% increase from the year-ago period. That growth rate accelerated from 24% in the previous quarter, three months earlier, a sign that the company's AI strategy is yielding results.
Meta stock is trading at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of just 21.3 as I write this, so it's much cheaper than the Nasdaq-100 index, which has a P/E ratio of 35.3. This suggests it might be undervalued relative to a basket of its big-tech peers.
However, the company is on track to spend up to $145 billion on AI data centers in 2026 to further its AI ambitions, which will weigh on its earnings over the next few years as that infrastructure is depreciated for accounting purposes. This is something to watch over the next couple of quarters -- if management pulls back on that spending, Wall Street might view that as a positive sign for the company's bottom line.
The case for Lemonade Lemonade offers renters, homeowners, life, pet, and car insurance, and it uses AI for everything from customer interactions to pricing premiums. The customer journey starts on its website, where an AI chatbot named Maya can write a quote in under 90 seconds. For existing policyholders, Lemonade has another AI assistant that can pay claims in just a few seconds. That's a big improvement from the claims process with traditional insurers, which often involves several phone calls and lengthy waiting periods to get paid.
Lemonade had a record 3.1 million policyholders at the end of the 2026 first quarter, which was an increase of 23% from the year-ago period. It also had $1.3 billion in in-force premium (IFP), which represents the value of the premiums from all active policies. That increased by 32%, and it was the 10th straight quarter in which that growth rate accelerated.

Since the end of 2022, AI-powered automation has enabled Lemonade to reduce its workforce by 6% while doubling IFP over the same period. The company now has roughly $1 million in IFP per employee, placing it on par with some of the largest insurers in the industry, despite being a mere fraction of their size. If Lemonade continues on its current trajectory, it could become the most efficient insurer in the business.
Wall Street's consensus estimate (provided by Yahoo! Finance) suggests Lemonade could generate $1.6 billion in revenue in 2027, which would be more than double its 2025 result of $738 million. That places its stock at a forward price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 2.5.
Therefore, Lemonade stock would have to soar by 116% by the end of next year just to maintain its current P/S ratio of 5.4, which is roughly in line with its three-year average.
Data by YCharts.
But the story gets better, because Lemonade plans to grow its IFP by a whopping 670% to $10 billion over the next decade or so, which could fuel a similar increase in its stock.
