The controlling shareholder's daily accumulation at ~$18.60 suggests confidence in near-term fundamentals. Monitor upcoming Q3 2026 earnings for underwriting margin improvement — the insider's insurance-specific knowledge makes this a more credible signal than a typical buy. The $18.50-$18.70 range may act as a support floor given this buying.
