TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly

MTG provides private mortgage services in the US. It trades under 10x earnings and under book value. We like that it is building cash reserves, paying down debt and buying back shares. Recently reported earnings showed net income growth of 36% over the year. We recommend placing a stop-loss at $11.50, looking to achieve $16.50 — upside potential over 16%. Yield 2.6%

(Analysts’ price target is $16.19)

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly MTG provides mortgage insurance in the US, Puerto Rico and Guam. The company released an operational update to end-August indicating the inventory of delinquent loans continues to decrease, with the % of new delinquency notices dropping by over 25% since June. It trades at 69% of book value and EPS is expected to grow to $1.50 per share from $1.44 this year. While still levered to an economic recovery, we make this a Top Pick. The yield is supported by a payout ratio of less than 10% of cash flow. We would trade buy this with a $7.00 stop-loss. Yield 2.69% (Analysts’ price target is $12.43)

COMMENT

Big selloff 2007-2008. Stock has now completed 4 years of base building. On a short-term basis, the stock is having a bit of a pullback and may even come lower but for a long-term investor there is some potential of this stock reversing. Have a stop loss at around $3.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Short May 11/10. Up 8.43%.) Covered this Short.

TOP PICK

Top Short Short it. They aren’t insuring any new mortgages. They have escalating costs on legal costs. 11 straight quarters of losses and negative retained earnings. They don’t look to be profitable this year.
