SiriusPoint (SPNT): Taking Stock of Valuation After Fresh Analyst Upgrades and a Zacks Rank #1 Rating
Several analyst upgrades have pushed SiriusPoint (SPNT) into the spotlight, as a fresh Zacks Rank #1 rating and rising earnings estimates help explain the stock's climb toward its recent 52 week highs.
See our latest analysis for SiriusPoint.
Those upgrades are landing at a time when momentum already looks constructive, with SiriusPoint’s share price delivering a 90 day share price return of about 13 percent and a year to date share price return of roughly 37 percent. The three year total shareholder return above 200 percent shows how strongly the story has evolved over a longer horizon.
If SiriusPoint’s run has you rethinking your portfolio, this could be a good moment to explore fast growing stocks with high insider ownership as potential next wave candidates.
Yet with SiriusPoint now near its 52 week highs and trading only modestly below analyst targets, investors face a key question: is this still an undervalued turnaround story, or has the market already priced in its next leg of growth?
Most Popular Narrative Narrative: 21.9% Undervalued
At a last close of $21.49 versus a narrative fair value of $27.50, SiriusPoint is framed as having meaningful upside if its roadmap plays out.
The company is strategically allocating capital toward higher margin specialty and casualty lines, alongside a disciplined approach to underwriting and risk selection, as evidenced by 11 consecutive quarters of underwriting profits and an improving combined ratio. This suggests a pathway to expanding net margins and earnings stability. SiriusPoint's investment in technology, data analytics, and automation through its MGA partnerships enables better loss ratio management and operational efficiency. Combined with the increasing use of AI, this is likely to support sustained reductions in operating cost ratios and improved net profitability.
Curious how steady premium growth, rising margins and shrinking share count combine into that upside case? The most followed narrative breaks down the math behind it.
Result: Fair Value of $27.5 (UNDERVALUED)

However, the narrative could crack if new MGA partnerships underdeliver, or if climate driven catastrophes erode underwriting gains and reserve assumptions.

Another Angle on Valuation
On simple earnings maths, SiriusPoint looks tighter than the upbeat narrative suggests. Its 13.5 times price to earnings sits above both US Insurance peers at 11.8 times and the broader industry at 12.8 times, which implies less margin for error if growth or margins disappoint.
