Shares of digital insurance provider Lemonade (NYSE: LMND) soared 28.2% during the morning session after the company reported impressive second-quarter financial results that exceeded Wall Street expectations and raised its full-year outlook. The AI-driven insurer posted $164.1 million in revenue and a loss of $0.60 per share, both surpassing analyst predictions. Management credited the strong performance to accelerating growth and solid underwriting practices. Additionally, Lemonade increased its full-year 2025 revenue forecast to a range of $710 million to $716 million. The company also highlighted a 29% year-over-year increase in its in-force premium—a key metric representing the value of active policies—reaching $1.08 billion, signaling robust customer growth.
Market Reaction and Volatility
Lemonade’s stock is known for its volatility, with 59 moves greater than 5% over the past year. However, a jump of this magnitude is rare, underscoring the market’s strong reaction to the company’s latest results.
The last significant move occurred 25 days ago when the stock fell 4.9% following news of the Trump administration’s plan to impose a 35% tariff on Canadian imports. This decision, targeting the United States’ largest trading partner, raised concerns about potential retaliatory measures and broader economic impacts, particularly in sectors like automotive, energy, and critical minerals. The announcement triggered a risk-off sentiment, leading to declines in major indices, including the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq, which all pulled back from record highs.
Stock Performance
Lemonade’s stock has climbed 29.8% year-to-date and is currently trading at $47.24 per share, nearing its 52-week high of $51.81 from November 2024. However, long-term investors may still feel the sting, as a $1,000 investment in Lemonade five years ago would now be worth approximately $732.60.
