Skyward Specialty Insurance Group corporate developments

Overview

Skyward Specialty Insurance Group reported strong financial performance for the second quarter of 2026, with net income rising to $49 million from $38.8 million the previous year. The company saw a 13% increase in gross written premiums, reaching $740.5 million, while CEO Andrew Robinson attributed the results to the firm’s “Rule Our Niche” strategy and disciplined risk management.

Following these financial results, the company announced a leadership transition for its Chief Financial Officer. Mark Haushill, who has held the position since 2015, will retire at the end of March 2027 and move into a Senior Advisor role through December 2027. Taryn McHarg, the current Deputy CFO and CFO of Apollo Group Holdings, has been named as his successor. This appointment follows Skyward’s $555 million acquisition of Apollo in January. The announcement led to some volatility in Skyward Group (SKWD) shares during morning trading.
