NMIH

NMI Holdings has outperformed, reaching a 52-week high and surpassing my $42 price target, driven by strong credit performance and market share gains. NMIH's prudent underwriting, low default rates, and robust balance sheet underpin resilience, though credit losses are expected to gradually rise as legacy policies diminish. Despite a healthy labor market and incremental investment income tailwinds, NMIH's more aggressive growth strategy increases exposure to potential home price declines.

NMIH beat Q2 earnings estimates as premium growth, stronger investment income and lower claims lifted revenues and profitability.

NMI Holdings is upgraded to "buy" after recent share underperformance, with valuation now attractive at under 8x earnings and 1.1x book value. Earnings are expected to moderate as legacy low-loss policies shrink and new business faces higher normalized loss ratios, but credit deterioration should remain manageable. NMIH benefits from a strong balance sheet, conservative underwriting, and rising investment income, supporting continued buybacks and capital flexibility.

NMI Holdings remains poised to gain from higher new insurance written volume, a comprehensive reinsurance program and prudent capital deployment.

NMIH tops Q1 estimates as revenues rise 5.8% and primary insurance in force climbs to $222.3B, even as persistency slips and claims surge.
