Mercury General Corp, symbol MCY-N, has faced significant trading pressure recently, largely attributed to the ongoing wildfires impacting the Los Angeles area. Despite expectations for this quarter’s earnings per share (EPS) to report near zero, analysts maintain a cautiously optimistic outlook due to signs indicating the fires' eventual resolution. This sentiment suggests that the negative news has already been reflected in the company's current share price. The stock is trading at a low valuation of 5 times earnings and 1.5 times book value, alongside a commendable return on equity (ROE) of 34%. Analysts recommend setting a stop-loss at $35 and express a target price of $70, indicating a potential upside of 40% alongside a yield of 2.5%.

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

The insurer of private homes and autos in the Los Angeles area has traded down aggressively as the wildfires have raged.  Although analysts expect EPS to be reported at near zero this quarter, the outlook for the end of the fires looks positive and we think the news is fully discounted in the share price now.  It trades at 5x earnings, 1.5x book and supports a 34% ROE.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $35, looking to achieve $70 -- upside potential of 40%.  Yield 2.5%

(Analysts’ price target is $70.00)
