Porch shares jumped Thursday after the homeowners insurance company raised guidance for the full year following a stronger-than-anticipated second quarter.
In morning trading, the shares were 14% higher at $14.11, widening the year-to-date advance to 55%.
Porch after the closing bell Wednesday said it now expects its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to grow by between 55% and 63%, to $119 million to $125 million, where it previously envisaged a rise of 34% to 42%. Revenue for 2026 is forecast to increase 21% to 23% to a range between $506 million and $517 million, up from a prior estimate for growth of 18% to 21%.
The financial guidance covers businesses owned by Porch, and excludes results from policyholder-owned Reciprocal.
Porch logged net income of $5.6 million in the second quarter, up from $2.6 million a year earlier.
Adjusted Ebitda excluding Reciprocal rose to $39.1 million, driven largely by $139.8 million of Reciprocal written premium. That was ahead of the $25.1 million mean estimate of analysts polled by FactSet.
Revenue for the three months increased 12% to $140.9 million, beating the $122.3 million analysts expected.
