“Hagerty, Inc. (NYSE:HGTY): We have more than doubled Greenhaven Road’s number of shares held over the course of 2025. The core thesis: Hagerty’s earnings could grow 5x from 2024-2029, driven by three factors. First, the State Farm partnership transitions from a multi-million-dollar expense (pre-launch preparation) to a profit contributor as policies come online. Second, operating leverage kicks in as policies in force grow while the company consolidates onto one IT platform (Duck Creek), reducing costs. Third, loss ratios normalize back to Hagerty’s historical 42% target after recent hurricane and supply chain disruptions.
