What this transaction means for investors
At the end of 2025, Lemonade was a top holding for BIT Capital of Berlin, Germany. After selling off more than two-thirds of its shares, the digital insurance provider isn’t even a top 10 holding.
If BIT Capital decided to sell its Lemonade stock early in the first quarter, the sale is working out well for the firm. The stock is down 46.8% from the peak it set in January.
Lemonade’s stock price is down this year despite posting encouraging first-quarter results on April 29, 2026. The company raised its total customer count by 23% year over year to 3.14 million. Moreover, it grew in popularity without cutting prices. The average premium per customer rose 7% year over year.
Despite strong growth when it comes to finding new customers, Lemonade hasn’t been reporting profits. In the first quarter, the company reported a $35.8 million net loss. It’s probably best to wait until after we see proof that Lemonade’s mostly automated underwriting process leads to profits before taking a risk on the stock.
