MTGMGIC Investment Corporation shows strong fundamental performance with solid profitability and a stable balance sheet. While current technical indicators suggest a neutral to slightly bearish short-term outlook, the company benefits from a generally stable housing market (thematic), making it a potentially attractive investment for those seeking income and moderate growth.
The company operates within the mortgage insurance sector, which is intrinsically linked to the health of the housing market and interest rate environments. While not a high-growth thematic area, stable housing demand and mortgage refinancing provide consistent opportunities.
MGIC Investment Corporation demonstrates strong profitability with healthy net margins and consistent EPS growth. Its balance sheet is robust, characterized by manageable debt levels and ample cash. The company also provides a consistent dividend yield.
The stock is currently trading below its longer-term moving averages and shows mixed signals from oscillators. While there are some short-term buy signals from indicators like EMA(10), the overall trend appears to be consolidating or slightly downward, suggesting caution for short-term traders.

Consistent EPS Surprises
The company has consistently beaten earnings per share (EPS) estimates, with the last quarter showing a surprise of 9.38% (reported $0.75 vs. estimate $0.69). This trend indicates strong operational execution and potentially underestimated future profitability.
Attractive P/E Ratio
The Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio of 8.51 (TTM) is relatively low, especially considering the reported net income and revenue figures. This suggests the stock may be undervalued compared to its earnings potential.
High Quarterly P/E Ratio
The quarterly P/E ratio for Q1 2025 is 31.6 and for Q4 2024 is 30.2. These high ratios, especially when compared to the TTM P/E of 8.5, suggest potential overvaluation based on short-term earnings, possibly driven by temporary factors or high growth expectations.
Slowing Revenue Growth (Quarterly)
While annual revenue for 2024 was $1.207 billion, the quarterly revenue figures show some fluctuation, with Q1 2025 at $306.234 million compared to Q4 2024 at $301.444 million, and Q1 2024 at $294.361 million. While there's year-over-year growth, the pace needs closer examination against industry trends.
