Lemonade (LMND 0.93%), the online insurance company that relies on AI chatbots to onboard customers and process claims, took its investors on a wild ride after its 2020 IPO. It went public at $29, hit a record high of $183.26 in Jan. 2021, but now trades at about $56. Lemonade is still a divisive stock. The bulls believe it will disrupt traditional insurance companies by simplifying the insurance-buying process with its AI-powered platform. Still, the bears argue that its moat is too narrow and its operating costs are too high. But if we take a closer look at its numbers, we'll see that its big bet on AI-powered insurance is paying off. What happened to Lemonade after its market debut? When Lemonade went public, it only offered homeowners and renters insurance. But over the following years, it expanded into the term life, pet health, and auto insurance markets. Its 2022 acquisition of Metromile significantly expanded its auto insurance business.
