Amerisafe Inc expected to post earnings of 48 cents a share - Earnings Preview

What happened

Amerisafe Inc is expected to report quarterly results on October 28 for the period ending September 30, 2026. Analysts expect revenue of $84.2 million, up 2.7% from $81.98 million a year earlier, and earnings of 48 cents a share, based on LSEG data.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

Amerisafe has missed analyst earnings estimates in seven of its last eight quarters, so the expected 48 cents a share is a low bar. Another miss could weaken investor confidence, while simply meeting the estimate might not be enough to lift the stock.

Analyst inference

The average analyst rating is hold: one buy, three holds and no sells. The median 12-month price target of $36.21 sits about 37.6% above the last close of $26.31, a wide gap that suggests analysts see value the market is not yet pricing in.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Watch whether reported revenue reaches the $84.2 million mean estimate, which would mark 2.7% growth from $81.98 million a year earlier, when results are released on October 28. Confirmed
2. Watch whether earnings per share, which means profit divided by shares outstanding, reach the expected 48 cents, and whether the company breaks its recent streak of missing estimates. Proposed
3. Watch whether management comments on costs and claims trends explain the repeated misses; if profit per sale stays weak, the gap between the $36.21 price target and the $26.31 close may persist. Analyst inference
