TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly The company provides personal and commercial residential insurance through the Atlantic coast and Alabama and expanding into Mississippi. Recent annual earnings showed a 10% increase in revenues and EPS has grown to $0.42 per share from a 2019 average of $0.02. Analysts look for EPS to grow over 40% next year. It trades at 83% of book value. It pays a small dividend that is well supported by cashflow. We would trade this with a $11.50 stop-loss. Yield 1.94% (Analysts’ price target is $17.00)

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

The insurance provider recently reported their best quarterly earnings in Q4.  The company estimates up to $40 million in losses due to the California wildfires in Q1 2025.  We like that cash reserves are growing.  The stock trades at 5x earnings, 1.3x book and and supports a ROE of 33%.   We recommend setting a stop-loss at $8, looking to achieve $16 -- upside potential of 22%.  Yield 0.9%
