Is Hippo Holdings Inc. (NYSE:HIPO) a buy in 2026?
Yes, on balance. The Compass leans toward accumulating Hippo Holdings Inc. at current levels.
The homeowners insurtech that stopped pretending to be a tech company is finally making real money, and the market still prices it like a cautionary tale.
Where HIPO is headed
Hippo in 2028 looks almost nothing like the SPAC-era meme that cratered 95% from its 2021 debut. The homeowners carrier that was supposed to disrupt State Farm with an app has rebuilt itself into something more interesting and less sexy: a multi-carrier insurance platform earning real underwriting profit, with a growing MGA book and a reinsurance arm that treats catastrophe risk like a tradeable product rather than a prayer. Revenue growth of 23% on a 60% gross margin with 8% operating margin and $158M of free cash flow is not an insurtech number. It is a specialty insurer number, and specialty insurers trade at very different multiples than growth-at-all-costs insurtechs.
