Every material Form 8-K KINGSTONE COMPANIES, INC. has filed with the SEC since October 16, 2026, read and summarized by AI: what happened, the key figures, whether it reads positive or negative for shareholders, and how big a deal it is (impact 1-5). Newest first; each brief links to its own page and to the filing on SEC.gov.
Kingstone reported third-quarter 2026 net income of $17.6 million, or $1.19 per diluted share, compared with $10.9 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, a year earlier. The company raised and narrowed its 2026 diluted EPS guidance to $2.70 to $2.90 from $2.20 to $2.90, which matters to shareholders because it points to higher expected full-year earnings, though catastrophe losses and bond market losses affected the quarter.
Q3 2026 net income of $17.6 million, up 61.7%; diluted EPS of $1.19 versus $0.74 in Q3 2025.
Net premiums earned rose 30.2% to $62.4 million; direct premiums written rose 14.5% to $86.8 million.
2026 diluted EPS guidance raised to $2.70 to $2.90 from $2.20 to $2.90; net combined ratio outlook set at 79% to 83% from 81% to 86%.
Q3 catastrophe loss ratio was 7.5% versus 0.2% a year earlier; other comprehensive loss was $9.7 million after tax in the quarter.
Kingstone's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share, payable November 25, 2026 to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 11, 2026. The press release says this is the sixth consecutive quarterly dividend since the dividend was reinstated in July 2025, and the second at the $0.06 rate following a 20% increase approved in July 2026. The filing does not include financial results, so the announcement itself is the main news for shareholders.
