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's CEO claims the way auto insurance has always worked quietly punishes the majority of drivers, and his company is betting a radical repricing model around telematics and Tesla's self-driving miles can finally flip that equation into a profit.
Daniel Schreiber, CEO of insurtech company Lemonade, has a message for the roughly 230 million licensed U.S. drivers: most of you are paying too much. On Bloomberg Businessweek, the co-founder of Lemonade (NYSE:LMND) argued that two-thirds of drivers cover less road than average, meaning they are quietly subsidizing the heaviest-driving third. He called mileage “the single most important metric for an insurance company to know,” and said most carriers cannot see it.
The pitch lands as Lemonade tries to convert that pricing thesis into its first-ever profitable quarter. Shares trade at $52.87, down 25.7% year to date, while the company guides to its first positive adjusted EBITDA quarter in Q4 2026.
Two-Thirds Subsidy Pitch, Decoded Schreiber’s argument starts with microdata legacy carriers cannot see. Gender, credit score, marital status and education serve as stand-ins for the driving behavior they cannot observe directly. Lemonade says telematics replaces some of that guesswork with mileage and driving-quality data. Across pricing and customer acquisition, roughly 50 machine-learning algorithms also process factors such as cost to serve, expected customer duration and claims behavior. Management’s target is about $3 in customer lifetime value for every $1 spent acquiring that customer.
The same efficiency shows up in claims handling. Lemonade posted a 5% loss-adjustment-expense ratio in Q2, compared with an industry average near 9%. Co-founder and co-CEO Shai Wininger noted, “Our competitors spend almost twice as much as we do on handling claims.” Schreiber added that the gap “allows us to produce a pricing advantage that will allow us to continue to grow and take market share.”
Tesla FSD Angle: A 50% Per-Mile Discount The sharpest expression of Lemonade’s segmentation is its autonomy-aware product for Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA | TSLA Price Prediction) Full Self-Driving (Supervised) vehicles; it prices autonomous miles at about a 50% discount on a per-mile basis when FSD is engaged. Lemonade plugs into Tesla APIs, then adjusts pricing based on model, sensors, software version, and outcomes.
Tesla shares changed hands at $363.47 at last check and are up 10.6% over the past month. The autonomy footprint continues to widen: FSD subscription attach rates exceeded 55% of new North American deliveries in Q2, active FSD subscriptions reached 1.48 million, and Robotaxi operations have expanded to seven U.S. metros. Elon Musk described the ramp as “literally exponential while keeping an impeccable safety record.” Every FSD-enabled Tesla is a potential Lemonade customer paying by the autonomous mile.
Lemonade launched autonomous car coverage in Colorado and Indiana in Q2, adding Missouri in early September. Wininger tipped his hand on what’s to come, saying, “before the end of 2027, I believe our car product will be available to the majority of drivers in the United States.”
Profitability Reality Check The catch: Lemonade has yet to post a profitable quarter. Outside the bottom line, however, the business is firing on nearly all cylinders. Q2 2026 revenue rose 79.4% year over year to $294.4 million, in-force premium reached $1.43 billion (up 32.4%), and the gross loss ratio improved to 60% from 67%. Car IFP grew to $239 million from $150 million, and car itself grew 60% year over year. EPS was -$0.56, and net loss came in at -$43.4 million.
Management reaffirmed its $1.214 to $1.220 billion full-year revenue range, a Q4 adjusted EBITDA of roughly $8 million positive, and full-year positive adjusted EBITDA in 2027. Details on car strategy are expected at Lemonade’s Investor Day on November 17, 2026 in New York. The Q2 shareholder letter filed with the SEC lays out the underwriting detail.
What Investors Should Watch The investor’s tradeoff is straightforward. Low-mileage and FSD-heavy drivers may pocket real savings under Lemonade’s model. The cost is handing over continuous vehicle telemetry. For LMND shareholders, the question is whether granular pricing plus a structurally lower LAE ratio can convert a decade of losses into durable operating leverage before the growth spend catches up. Q4 will settle the first half of that issue. Tesla adoption will settle the second.

On September 03, 2026, Lemonade Inc LMND shares rose by 3.6% to a current price of $55.08, reflecting a significant movement within the broader context of its 52-week range of $46.16 to $99.90. The stock has demonstrated a year-to-date decline of 22.6%, yet shows a positive return of 10.5% over the past year and 57.5% over the past three years.
GF Value™ verdict: Current price at $55.08 is 13.0% below the estimated fair value of $63.31. GF Score™: 80/100 indicating a strong overall rating. Notable signal: Insider activity shows a net selling of $37.2M over the past 12 months. Is LMND Overvalued or Undervalued? According to GF Value™, which is GuruFocus' proprietary estimate of intrinsic value based on historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates, Lemonade Inc is currently assessed as being 13.0% undervalued at its current price of $55.08 compared to a GF Value™ of $63.31. This suggests a potential margin of safety for investors considering the stock. However, it is essential to recognize that GF Value™ can be less reliable for companies that are unprofitable or cash-flow negative, such as Lemonade Inc. This valuation should be viewed as a directional warning rather than a precise target.
While the GF Valuation label indicates that the stock is modestly undervalued, investors must be cautious of the risks associated with investing in a company that has yet to achieve profitability. The current price offers an opportunity, but it is accompanied by inherent uncertainties related to future performance and financial health.
How Does LMND's Valuation Compare to Its History? Metric Current Historical P/E (TTM) N/A ~5.8x (historical median) Due to Lemonade Inc being unprofitable, a traditional P/E ratio analysis does not apply, and therefore, no current P/E is available for comparison. This lack of P/E data aligns with the GF Value™ verdict, reinforcing the idea that earnings-based valuations are not applicable in this instance. The historical median P/S ratio of approximately 5.8x provides a context for assessing Lemonade's current valuation through a Price-to-Sales (P/S) lens, indicating that the stock's valuation remains contextually relevant in comparison to its historical performance.
What Does LMND's GF Score™ Tell Us? The GF Score™ is a comprehensive measure that evaluates a company's financial strength, profitability, growth potential, valuation, and momentum. Lemonade Inc's GF Score™ of 80/100 reflects a strong overall performance, with its highest sub-rank in growth, scoring a perfect 10/10, suggesting robust growth potential. However, its profitability rank at 3/10 indicates significant challenges in generating consistent earnings.
Metric Rating GF Score™ 80/100 Financial Strength 5/10 Profitability 3/10 Growth 10/10 Valuation 8/10 Momentum 7/10 Overall, the scores indicate that while Lemonade Inc excels in growth potential, its financial health remains a concern given the moderate rating in financial strength and low profitability rank. This mixed performance suggests that while the company may have promising growth opportunities, it faces significant challenges in achieving sustainable profitability.
What Are Gurus and Insiders Doing with LMND? Currently, three gurus hold positions in Lemonade Inc, with two increasing their holdings while four have trimmed their positions in recent quarters. This activity hints at mixed sentiment among institutional investors regarding the stock. Over the past 12 months, insider trading has shown a pattern of net selling, with insiders selling $37.7M worth of shares while only purchasing $0.5M. This substantial net selling by insiders may suggest a lack of confidence in the company's short-term prospects or a strategic decision to realize gains.
This insider activity, combined with the guru ownership patterns, is a crucial signal for potential investors. The fact that insiders are selling significantly more than they are buying could raise concerns about the company's future performance and should be considered when evaluating the stock.
What This Means for Investors Based on the assessment of GF Value™, Lemonade Inc is currently viewed as modestly undervalued, offering a potential opportunity for investors. However, the lack of profitability and the concerning insider selling pattern warrant caution. Investors should be aware of the risks involved in investing in a cash-flow-negative company and weigh these factors when considering their investment strategy.

When a driver gets behind the wheel, their behavior generates a stream of data points that most traditional insurers simply ignore. Root (ROOT -3.63%) turns this information into an advantage, using telematics to price auto insurance based on how people actually drive rather than static demographic assumptions.
The company operates as a full-stack, tech-native insurance carrier, reaching customers primarily through its mobile app and embedded partnerships with platforms like Carvana. With the stock priced at $52.60 as of Aug. 11, 2026, it has seen a volatile year, falling 40% over the last 12 months as the market weighed the company's aggressive pivot toward profitability against broader industry headwinds.
Our proprietary Hidden Gems scoring system assigns Root an overall Superscore of 74 out of 100, placing it in the Above Average category. The Superscore is an AI-powered score that evaluates a company's overall strength by combining financial performance, product market position, technological capabilities, leadership quality, and relative valuation. It represents the unification of all our scores into a single score for public companies, with five rating bands: Exceptional (90-100), Strong (75-89), Above Average (60-74), Average (40-59), and Cautious (0-39). This score places Root in the Top ~21% of all companies we track, ahead of roughly 79 out of every 100 companies in our database. The Superscore acts as a starting point for your research, and this piece breaks down the specific operational realities that hold it in this position so you can weigh the company's path to maturity against its lingering risks.
Why Root Has a 74 SuperscoreProfitable pivot: After years of heavy cash burn, the company successfully transitioned to profitability, reporting $40 million in net income for fiscal 2025.Embedded growth: Partnerships with major platforms like Carvana (CVNA -4.14%) act as a cost-efficient distribution engine that drives steady policy growth.Underwriting discipline: The company reduced its gross loss ratio to 58% in 2025, proving its telematics-based pricing models can accurately segment risk.Data-driven moat: Over 36 billion miles of driving data trains its proprietary AI models to price risks more accurately than traditional carriers can.Capital optimization: Management strategically refinanced its debt and optimized its reinsurance structures to reduce interest costs and boost cash flow.Why Is Root's Superscore Not Higher?Competitive intensity: The U.S. personal auto insurance market is dominated by massive, well-capitalized incumbents that can engage in protracted price wars.Customer friction: Significant user feedback highlights ongoing frustrations with premium adjustments and claims processing, which could dampen long-term retention.Regulatory hurdles: State-level insurance commissions occasionally limit the use of certain telematics data, curbing the company's ability to apply its pricing model uniformly.Valuation sensitivity: Trading at a trailing P/E of 15.7, the stock requires consistent double-digit earnings growth to justify its current price, leaving little room for error if expansion slows. Many leading property insurers trade at single-digit P/E ratios.Hidden Gems Database Scores at a GlanceScoreScore (out of 100)RankSupporting Data PointProduct (1Y)76Top ~20%Strong execution in embedded partnerships and profitability mark a clear inflection point.Product (5Y)56Bottom ~44%Historical volatility and high early losses weigh down long-term averages.Financial (1Y)83Top ~9%Achieved consistent GAAP profitability and robust cash flow in fiscal 2025.Financial (5Y)66Top ~30%Transitioned from extreme startup losses to a self-funding business model.Leaders67Bottom ~43%Management displays disciplined capital allocation but faces governance questions from a dual-class share structure.AI78Top ~8%Proprietary telematics dataset provides a structural pricing advantage that is difficult for rivals to replicate.Valuation Risk67Top ~22%The company trades at a P/S ratio of 0.51 and an EV/EBITDA of 4.28.Is Root Right For Your Portfolio?This stock warrants a closer look if...

You are risk-averse and prefer insurers with decades of stable underwriting history and predictable dividend distributions.You are concerned that aggressive competition from well-funded legacy carriers could compress margins as the company scales.The Superscore is one data-driven signal worth investigating, and you should weigh it against your own financial goals and risk tolerance before making any investment decision.
My 5-year prediction for Root stockThere’s a lot to like about this data-driven insurer. Root has turned an unadjusted net profit in each of the last three quarters, the balance sheet holds more cash than debt, and the net combined ratio dropped from 103% to 92% over the last two years. Anything below 100% on that efficiency metric means the company runs a profitable insurance business.
Investors have noticed, of course. Root’s stock is up more than fivefold over the past three years, despite a steep drop year-to-date. Automated insurance services such as Root and Lemonade (LMND +0.73%) appear poised to disrupt the trillion-dollar insurance industry with fast, efficient, and customer-friendly offerings.
Now, the company has a lot of growing and learning to do. Its insurance plans are only as effective as the underlying artificial intelligence systems, which learn the ropes from Root’s real-world data collection.
At the same time, Root may have turned the corner into profitability a bit too quickly. The company has focused on profit margins over customer growth in recent quarters, leaving potential sales on the table and slowing its top-line growth.
I expect the slowdown to be temporary. Root needs to get back to market expansion while AI-powered insurance models are still rule-breaking upstarts. Otherwise, more aggressive rivals like Lemonade could dominate this sub-industry.
Five years from now, I expect Root to be a larger and more profitable business, but not necessarily a market leader. The company has proven its model works; now it needs to prove it can scale. If Root can do that, early investors will look like geniuses in 2031.

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.
On August 05, 2026, Lemonade Inc (LMND) shares experienced a decline of 3.8%, bringing the current price to $52.06. This price is situated within a 52-week rang
Shares of Lemonade (LMND +2.64%) stock dropped 26% in July, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. It reported outstanding performance for the 2026 second quarter, but its expenses are increasing.
Aid for life's lemons Lemonade provides insurance through its website and digital channels. It was built with artificial intelligence (AI) and uses machine learning to operate its business and keep improving. It's a decade old, which means it recognized the opportunity before AI exploded into what it is today. That's given it time to perfect its model before other digital insurance companies entered the scene, and it's already becoming a leader in the space.
While its expertise and years of refined modeling give it a leg up over newer brands, it also believes it has an edge over incumbents thanks to its interconnected components and digital substrate. These make it run efficiently, and the company thinks it has a major advantage that will become more obvious over time.

For now, it's still in a high-growth state, and growth has been accelerating. In-force premium (IFP) increased 32.4% year over year in the second quarter, and revenue grew even faster at 79%. IFP measure the average amount of policy in force at a given time.
Lemonade is also getting closer to profitability, but it's not quite there yet. It's still increasing its marketing spend and rolling out new products in new regions. However, it's improving. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) loss improved by about 54% in the quarter, while net loss improved 1%. Management maintained its outlook for positive adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter and defined it at $8 billion.
What left a sour taste The market seemed to be disappointed with the increased marketing costs. In theory, Lemonade should be a much cheaper outfit to run than traditional insurance companies that employ people to handle tasks. Lemonade's algorithms and digital chatbots are handling much of the work that humans do in other insurance companies, cutting out high labor costs.

The company is demonstrating this through its low loss adjustment expense (LAE). LAE measures how much of the premiums are being used to handle claims. The industry average is 9%. Last quarter, Lemonade's LAE was 7% on $1 billion in IFP, and its goal was to halve the LAE percentage as it doubles IFP. It's ahead of schedule, with a 5% LAE on $1.4 billion in IFP. That means it's much more cost-efficient than the standard insurance company.
Given this, and the fact that the loss ratio is down 60%, well below its goals, the market is expecting to see better profitability. Management said it expects growth to outpace growth spend in 2027.
Lemonade could skyrocket at that point, but it may be volatile until then.
Lemonade's (LMND -0.15%) stock slumped after it posted its second-quarter earnings report on July 29. The online insurance company's revenue surged 79% year over year to $294 million, beating analysts' estimates by $3 million, and it narrowed its net loss from $43.9 million to $43.4 million, or $0.56 per share, which matched the consensus forecast.
Those headline numbers looked healthy, but Lemonade's full-year in-force premium (IFP) outlook slightly missed analysts' estimates. Let's see if that miss means that its growth story is ending -- or if its valuations are simply cooling off after a big multi-year rally.

Lemonade initially only offered homeowners and renters insurance at the time of its 2020 IPO, but it subsequently launched pet health, term life, and auto insurance products. It significantly expanded its auto business by acquiring Metromile in 2022.
Lemonade ended the second quarter of 2026 with 3.31 million customers. That's up 23% from a year earlier and more than triple its 1.00 million customers at the end of 2021. Its IFP, gross earned premium (GEP), and gross margins have consistently risen since its public debut, while its gross loss ratio has steadily declined.
Was Lemonade's guidance that bad? For 2026, Lemonade expects its IFP to rise 32%-33%, its GEP to grow 31%, and its revenue to increase 65%. That guidance was actually higher than its full-year guidance in the first quarter, which called for 32% IFP growth, 30%-31% GEP growth, and 62%-63% revenue growth. It also reiterated its prior outlook for achieving a positive adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) by the fourth quarter of 2026.
The only issue was that the high end of Lemonade's IFP guidance (between $1.632 billion and $1.639 billion) fell short of Wall Street's target of more than $1.642 billion. Therefore, Lemonade's guidance wasn't bad at all -- it simply wasn't as aggressive as Wall Street's target.
With an enterprise value of $4.03 billion, Lemonade still looks like a bargain at three times this year's sales. It's still an undervalued growth stock, and its latest pullback is a great buying opportunity for long-term investors.

Lemonade (LMND -23.02%) stock is getting crushed in Wednesday's trading. As of 12:35 p.m. ET, the company's share price had fallen 22.3%. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 was down 1%, and the Nasdaq Composite had fallen 1.1%.
Before the market opened this morning, Lemonade published its second-quarter results. Despite reporting earnings that were in line with the average analyst estimate and sales that beat the average analyst target, the stock is getting hit with a huge pullback due to softer-than-expected guidance and pressures impacting the broader market.

Lemonade served strong sales growth, but it wasn't enough In Q2, Lemonade posted a net loss of $0.56 per share on sales of $294.4 million. For comparison, the average analyst estimate had targeted a per-share loss of $0.56 on revenue of roughly $291 million. The company's revenue rose 79% compared to the prior-year quarter, and its gross earned premium rose 32% to reach approximately $332.4 million and beat the average analyst target by roughly $3 million. On the other hand, some key elements of guidance were disappointing.

Investors aren't happy with Lemonade's outlook Lemonade's guidance for full-year revenue between $1.21 billion and $1.22 billion narrowly topped the average analyst target's call for sales of $1.21 billion, and its forecast for gross earned premium to be between $1.37 billion and $1.38 billion also topped the average target for gross earned premium of $1.37 billion. Unfortunately, the midpoint of the company's target for in-force premium to be between $1.632 billion and $1.639 billion fell significantly short of Wall Street's in-force premium target of more than $1.642 billion.
The company also reiterated its target for a non-GAAP (adjusted) operating loss of $50 million for the year, and many investors were seemingly hoping that the company would issue improved guidance. With the market on edge due to rising oil prices and policy announcements and commentary from the Federal Reserve's meeting today, Lemonade's Q2 report and forward guidance didn't deliver the big beat-and-raise quarter that investors saw as being necessary to support its growth-dependent valuation.

Can Trupanion Turn Pet Insurance Loyalty Into Real Earnings?Lemonade NYSE: LMND reported second-quarter results marked by accelerating in-force premium growth, higher revenue and gross profit, and a narrower adjusted EBITDA loss, while reaffirming its expectation to reach positive adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder Daniel Schreiber said in-force premium reached $1.43 billion, up about 32.5% from a year earlier. The result extended the company’s streak of accelerating growth to 11 consecutive quarters. Revenue rose 79% to $294 million, while gross profit increased 76% to a record $113 million.

Lemonade’s Sweet Results Refresh Market Appetite: Rebound Ahead“We remain on track to deliver our first positive adjusted EBITDA quarter in Q4 of this year, followed by a positive adjusted EBITDA full year 2027,” Schreiber said.
Guidance and financing developments The company reiterated its guidance for in-force premium and adjusted EBITDA, while raising guidance for gross earned premium and revenue. Management said its updated outlook calls for 33% in-force premium growth in both the third quarter and full year, approximately 69% revenue growth in the third quarter and 65% revenue growth for the full year.
MarketBeat Week in Review – 01/19 - 01/23Lemonade also maintained its expectation for a positive adjusted EBITDA result in the fourth quarter. Chief Financial Officer Tim Bixby said the company’s third-quarter and full-year guidance implies fourth-quarter adjusted EBITDA of approximately $8 million.
Schreiber said Lemonade completed its annual reinsurance renewal, which modestly increased the portion of premiums retained by the company while strengthening catastrophe coverage. The updated structure includes named-storm protection that was largely absent under the prior arrangement, he said.
The company also extended its synthetic agents program, securing $250 million in growth financing for spending in 2027 and 2028 at an approximately 9.8% cost. Schreiber said the financing represents more than six percentage points of improvement in the company’s cost of capital and is expected to reduce future interest expense.
Growth spending and operating leverage Schreiber addressed investor questions about the relationship between growth spending and in-force premium, saying the differing growth rates do not indicate deteriorating marketing efficiency. He said the company has maintained an approximately 3x lifetime-value-to-customer-acquisition-cost ratio while increasing growth investments.
According to Schreiber, growth spending is expensed annually, while the premiums generated by acquired customer cohorts remain on the books and accumulate over time. He said the company expects in-force premium growth to exceed growth-spend growth beginning in 2027, supporting operating leverage and profitability.
Senior Vice President of Finance Nick Stead said growth spend totaled $64 million in the second quarter, up 30%, or $15 million, from a year earlier. Sales and marketing expense rose 30% to reflect the higher spending, while the LTV-to-CAC ratio remained above 3x.
Stead said Lemonade expects growth-spend growth to continue declining below the rate of in-force premium growth in 2027 and beyond. He also said general and administrative expense and technology-development expense should provide more significant operating leverage, though year-over-year comparisons in upcoming quarters could be affected by executive equity awards.
Loss ratio, claims efficiency and expansion Lemonade reported a gross loss ratio of 60% in the quarter, including 7 percentage points of favorable prior-period development, primarily related to its homeowners multi-peril and car products. Catastrophe impact was 3%, excluding catastrophe prior-period development.
On a net basis, the company recorded five percentage points of favorable prior-period development, including two points related to catastrophe. Bixby said favorable prior-year development totaled $12 million for the quarter and $16 million year to date.
President and Co-founder Shai Wininger highlighted the company’s 5% loss-adjustment-expense ratio, which measures the cost of handling claims. Wininger described it as Lemonade’s best result to date and said it reflected wider use of the company’s technology and artificial intelligence in claims operations. He said the result was a record low across each of Lemonade’s product lines.
“Our competitors spend almost twice as much as we do on handling claims,” Wininger said, referring to an industry average LAE ratio of around 9%.
The company launched 14 additional state-product combinations during the past 100 days, including a push toward nationwide renters-insurance availability and the launch of its autonomous-car product in Colorado and Indiana. Wininger said Lemonade expects further car-insurance state launches and believes the product will be available to a majority of U.S. drivers before the end of 2027.
Car insurance grew 60% year over year in the second quarter, according to management. Cross-sales represented between 40% and 50% of new-to-Lemonade car sales in recent periods.
Profitability, cash flow and leadership transition Adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed to $19 million from $41 million in the prior-year quarter. Net loss was $43 million, or $0.56 per share, compared with a $44 million loss, or $0.60 per share, a year earlier. Excluding a prior-year one-time tax refund benefit, Stead said the current-quarter net loss represented a 22% year-over-year improvement.
Adjusted free cash flow was positive $19 million, marking the fifth consecutive positive quarter and the eighth positive quarter in the last nine. Operating cash flow was negative $3 million, which Bixby said followed a common seasonal pattern. Lemonade ended the quarter with approximately $1.2 billion in cash and investments, including about $330 million required as regulatory surplus.
Customer count grew 23% year over year, and the company added approximately 166,000 customers during the quarter, compared with roughly 148,000 in the year-earlier period. Premium per customer increased 8%, while annual dollar retention remained sequentially stable at 85%.
At year-end, Bixby will step down as CFO after more than nine years and join Lemonade’s board of directors. Stead, currently the company’s SVP of Finance, will succeed him as CFO. Schreiber said the transition had been planned over several years and that most financial functions already report to Stead.

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.
Image source: Getty Images.
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.

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.

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.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lemonade, Inc. (NYSE: LMND), the digital insurance company powered by AI and social impact, today announced the renewal of its reinsurance program, effective July 1, 2026.

Under the renewed quota share agreements, Lemonade expects to cede approximately 18% of premium to reinsurers, down from approximatel.

When investors think of buying businesses at the leading edge of artificial intelligence (AI), hyperscalers might be the first to come to mind. But don't forget Lemonade (LMND +1.46%), which is leveraging this new technology throughout its entire organization.

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.
Image source: Getty Images.
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.

Companies that are innovating with artificial intelligence (AI) have been rewarded by the market, even though volatility hasn't faded. Shares in Lemonade (LMND +0.54%) might be down 20% in 2026 (as of June 11), but they have skyrocketed 194% in the past three years.
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.
Tech-First Insurance Company Expands Its Digital Coverage to Delaware Renters May 11, 2026 10:00 ET | Source: Lemonade, Inc
New York City, NY, May 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lemonade (NYSE: LMND), the tech-first insurance company, has announced the launch of its award-winning renters insurance product in Delaware.

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.

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.
