American Financial Group sells property and casualty insurance and fixed and variable annuities. The company currently qualifies for my Stable Dividends screen, which has outperformed the S&P 500 by 16.6% per year since January 1, 2000. Like the rest of the insurance industry, this company has seen its fortunes improve in 2009. Current eps estimates are $4.17 per share for 2009 and $3.67 for 2010 versus eps of $1.68 in 2008. Despite this favorable trend, the company's stock is selling for a discount to historical values. Current p/bv: 0.77. Five year median p/bv: 0.98. Although the CAPS rating is a lowly 2, the Stockscouter rating is a perfect 10.
