NI Holdings swings to Q2 profit of $146,000 as combined ratio improves to 107.7%
NI Holdings reported second-quarter 2026 net income of $146,000, or $0.01 per basic share, compared with a net loss of $12.1 million a year earlier. Gross premiums written fell 4.1% to $107.2 million, and net premiums earned dropped 10.9% to $65.0 million, as the company exits most of its Non-Standard Auto business. The combined ratio improved to 107.7% from 125.1%, mainly on lower catastrophe losses and favorable prior-year reserve development, so shareholders see a return to a small quarterly profit on lower premium volume.
