AMERISAFE, Inc., a microcap company in the insurance industry, has reached a new 52-week low of USD 27.09 as of August 13, 2026. This significant decline reflects a challenging year for the company, with a one-year performance drop of 36.85%, contrasting sharply with the S&P 500's gain of 20.6% during the same period. The company's market capitalization stands at USD 656 million, and it currently has a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 14.00. Despite a high dividend yield of 753.95%, AMERISAFE has faced difficulties, including a notable decrease in operating cash flow and profit margins. The operating cash flow for the year was reported at USD 10.16 million, while the operating profit for the quarter was at its lowest, recorded at USD 10.15 million, resulting in an operating profit margin of just 12.68%. With a return on equity of 18.72% and a price-to-book ratio of 2.61, AMERISAFE's valuation appears elevated compared to its historical averages. The stock's performance has consistently lagged behind the S&P 500 over the past three years, highlighting ongoing challenges in its market position.
