Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly
We reiterate this reinsurance company as a TOP PICK. Earnings will be released by month's end, so we will see if the company will be able to continue its EPS growth rates that it has seen over the past five years. It trades at 6x earnings, 1.2x book and supports a ROE of 23%. Its dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 15% of cash flow. We continue to recommend a stop at $344, looking to achieve $430 -- upside potential of 17%. Yield 1.8%
