Skyward Specialty Insurance Group (NASDAQ: SKWD) reported a modest insider purchase and a strong set of quarterly results last week. According to a Form 4 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, CFO Taryn Leonie McHarg purchased company common stock on February 27, 2026, acquiring $9,320 worth of shares at prices that ranged from $46.49 to $46.71.
The filing documents the transaction in full and places the trade in the context of current market valuation metrics. The shares are trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of 11.94. Analysis available through InvestingPro indicates the company is trading below its Fair Value estimate, and the platform highlights that Skyward's P/E is low relative to near-term earnings growth.
InvestingPro also reports that analysts' price targets for the company span a considerable range, from $45 on the low end to $80 on the high end. The platform lists an InvestingPro Tip noting the low P/E versus expected near-term earnings expansion, and it references seven additional ProTips for subscribers seeking deeper, paid analysis.
The insider transaction arrived alongside the company’s fourth-quarter 2025 financial results, which beat analyst forecasts. Skyward posted earnings per share of $1.17 for the quarter, versus an expected $0.77, marking a 51.95% surprise. Quarterly revenue came in at $385.58 million, above the forecast of $308.67 million.
In a separate corporate governance update, Skyward's board approved new executive employment agreements for members of its leadership team. The agreements cover Andrew Robinson, the chairman and CEO, and John Burkhart, the president of U.S. Property and Casualty. The documents specify terms related to annual base salary, target bonus arrangements, and long-term equity awards, with those terms subject to annual review by the board.
Taken together, the filings and company disclosures present a snapshot of recent insider activity, company performance and leadership compensation design. The SEC Form 4 documents the precise timing and price range of the insider purchase, while the earnings release and board actions outline the company’s recent financial results and executive remuneration framework.
