Amtrust Financial Services, Inc. (AFSI)

CAPS Rating:
***

The Company, through its subsidiaries, provides property and casualty insurance focusing on workers' compensation for small business, specialty risk and extended warranty coverage, and specialty middle-market property and casualty coverages.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Avatar vog1989 (< 20) Submitted: 10/30/08 7:55 AM : Outperform Start Price: $8.75 AFSI Score: 1.74

An exceptional value at around $8.50 which is being traded right now. Strong growth, strong earnings and well financed. Not a part of the mortgage meltdown, although you'd never know from the current price. Only a matter of time before a fund or institution jumps all over this jewel.

Check it out.

My predictions:

$10: within 90 days
$15: within one year
$25: within 3 years

Contrarian financial long; well run p&c company with disciplined historical underwriting/combined ratios - looks fairly cheap long term at $11.14 after recent sell-off.

Beat this Stock

Clicking "Beat this Stock!" will bring you to a company with a higher rating than the one you're currently viewing.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
