MGIC Investment Corporation (MTG)

Executive Summary

MGIC Investment is one of the four scale players in the U.S. private mortgage insurance industry, a sector that emerged from the 2008-2009 financial crisis substantially restructured. MGIC is the largest pure-play and the longest-tenured PMI carrier — founded in 1957. The post-crisis franchise carries lower leverage, stricter underwriting, and stronger capital adequacy than its pre-crisis predecessor. At $26.37, MTG trades at 8.5x forward earnings, 1.10x book value of $23.63 per share, and delivers a 14.1 percent return on equity through what has been a benign mortgage credit cycle.
