Slide Insurance Holdings reported third‑quarter 2026 gross premiums written of $506.6 million, a 9.3% increase year‑over‑year, and total revenue of $361.1 million, up 35.9%. Net income rose 24.5% to $138.2 million, delivering diluted earnings per share of $1.09. The board declared a one‑time special dividend of $1.50 per share and the company raised its full‑year 2026 net‑income guidance to $500 million‑$520 million.

The higher profit guidance expands the upside for shareholders and may support a higher valuation, while the special dividend provides an immediate cash return. The raised outlook also signals confidence in continued premium growth and underwriting discipline.
