On Monday, BMO Capital Markets adjusted their outlook on TWFG Insurance (NASDAQ:TWFG), raising the company’s price target to $32.00, up from the previous $30.00. The firm reiterated its Outperform rating for the insurance provider’s stock. According to InvestingPro data, TWFG maintains a "GOOD" financial health score and appears undervalued based on its Fair Value analysis. The revision follows TWFG’s preannouncement of fourth-quarter 2024 results that surpassed expectations.
The company’s strong performance was attributed to several factors, including an increase in written premiums, organic commissions, and profit commissions. These gains were slightly balanced by a decline in other revenue streams. With an impressive gross profit margin of 87% and a robust current ratio of 6.15, TWFG has experienced significant growth over the past year, with a notable 19% quarter-over-quarter increase in the number of offices during the third quarter of 2024, contributing to a 31% rise in the first nine months of the year compared to the same period the previous year.
BMO Capital’s analyst noted the positive developments and accordingly adjusted the fourth-quarter 2024 adjusted EBITDA estimate upward by approximately 6% to $9.0 million. Additionally, the firm’s projections for the company’s EBITDA in 2025 and 2026 have been modestly increased by less than 50 basis points.
The analyst’s commentary highlighted the robust headcount growth that TWFG has reported throughout 2024, which has been a contributing factor to the company’s strong top-line results. The new price target of $32 reflects the analyst’s confidence in TWFG’s continued growth and financial performance.
In other recent news, JPMorgan has adjusted its rating for TWFG Insurance, downgrading the stock from Overweight to Neutral. Despite this downgrade, the price target for TWFG Insurance was raised to $33.00 from the previous $30.00. The company is noted for its strong cash conversion, minimal debt, and operational stability, with a flexible platform for agents. Analysts at JPMorgan expect TWFG Insurance to maintain a high-teens revenue growth rate beyond 2026, driven by organic growth and strategic mergers and acquisitions. The firm’s diversification through M&A is seen as a strategic advantage. However, potential risks include the company’s concentrated geographical presence and founder-centric control. JPMorgan suggests that the stock’s current valuation is nearing its full potential, although there could be unaccounted upside risks, such as additional M&A opportunities and increased financial leverage.
