Regarding @AP_1981’s comments about tapping into owners’ pockets (dilution). I don’t see it as completely impossible that money would be raised. But in that situation, it would be a case where investors are knocking at the door and they want to significantly accelerate growth. From the letter:

Cash & Investments
The Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and investments totaled approximately
$1.14 billion at March 31, 2026.
As of March 31, 2026, we were required to hold approximately $290 million of
regulatory surplus at our insurance subsidiaries.

Investor Day #3 is on November 17 in NYC; Shai already posted a bit of a teaser. Since LMND is usually very conservative in its estimates, expectations are typically beaten time after time. It’s hard to believe they would back down an inch from what has been announced; there have been rumors in the LMND community that Investor Day would be a good time to announce a positive profit warning (posari) and achieving this ahead of schedule.

“We steadily progress towards our first Adj. EBITDA positive quarter,
which we continue to expect in Q4 2026.”

Judging by the market reaction, the period leading up to Investor Day could be a good time to add to positions, and the market may potentially offer very good entry points.
