24h Move is the share-price change in the day after each event; other market factors may also have contributed.
Recent positive event headlines, including auctions and concours, often saw flat to negative next-day price reactions, even when fundamentals like written premium and Adjusted EBITDA improved.
Over the past few months, Hagerty has mixed operational strength with event-driven brand building. The Q1 2026 results on May 6 showed strong premium growth and higher Adjusted EBITDA but a GAAP loss and a 5% revenue decline, and the stock dipped. Broad Arrow auction updates on April 24 and April 28 reported solid sales and high sell‑through rates, yet price reactions were modest. The May 22 Greenwich Concours announcement also coincided with a share pullback, indicating promotional and event news has not consistently supported the stock.
