Mortgage Guarantors Surge After MGIC/Freddie Mac Deal Resolving Coverage Dispute Announced
Five Star Equities Provides Stock Research on Genworth Financial and Old Republic International
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 11/02/12 -- Mortgage insurers have experienced a resurgence in 2012 as the U.S. housing market has continued its steady recovery. Recent data from the Commerce Department has shown that home sales in the U.S. are at its fastest annual pace in over two years. Five Star Equities examines the outlook for companies in the Property & Casualty Insurance Industry and provides equity research on Genworth Financial Inc. (NYSE: GNW) and Old Republic International Corp. (NYSE: ORI).

"All the things that were really holding back housing are finally starting to lift," said Guy Berger, a U.S. economist at RBS Securities Inc. "It really is tough to find any bad signs here. Inventories are very, very lean. Assuming the economy remains on track, housing should continue to improve for the rest of the year and into 2013."
Mortgage guarantors have also received a lift from a preliminary deal between MGIC Investment and Freddie Mac resolving a coverage dispute, which would have prevented the insurer from backing some loans. As was the case with MGIC, soured home loans have caused some insurers to breach the 25-to-1 ratio of risk relative to capital preventing them from selling new coverage.
