Workman compensation insurance is like the barbering sector everyone in the business operating world need insurance and everyone not totally bald will need a hair cut. Contining demand will stay as a must while the management ability of the go getter insuring firms will profit from the demand.

On the CAPS new "Screener" I used 5 star stocks, low PE, low PB as criteria, and surprise, surprise, an insurance company pops up. I like this little worker's comp insurance company for it's near book value market cap and relatively low price to earnings ratios. I like how the company focuses on only one type of insurance, worker's comp, I wonder if this makes it potential target for buy out? Lastly, check out the long term growth in book value, that characteristic is probably most important of all in an insurance company.

Amerisafe has found quite a nice in the high barrier to entry industry of casualty insurance. Basically, they underwrite worker's comp for some of the most dangerous and hazardous jobs on the planet (construction, offshore, oil field services, etc). Their strategy is based on the fact that when they do get a claim, it's a big one, but they don't get as many claims because people in these industries stress safety, safety, safety. They've been doing this a long time and have figured out a way to make it very profitable based on the numbers. Fundamentally, they look very strong with a low PE, good cash flow, and excellent ROE. I think they're cheap anywhere under 20. Management - A, Fundamentals - A, Growth Opportunities - A, MOAT - A, Price - A+

$30+/share

Testing out a portfolio of smallish-cap 5-star stocks found using the CAPS screener. All picks have at least 50 allstars backing them, which should be enough to minimize star rating fluctuations. It's only been about a week, and I expect a LOT of volatility, but I have high hopes for market beating performance. Time will tell...

Great Stock with great growth potential.

Oversold Value!

Testing a portfolio of companies that start with the letter "A".

THe market has overreacted in several financial investments. This company has a safe hold on worker's compnesation insurances. The firm generates more than $300 million a year in revenue, marketing and underwriting workers' comp insurance for small and midsized employers engaged in hazardous industries. As financial services businesses go, the firm isn't nearly as profitable as the big boys, but within the subsector of accident and health insurers, it's actually more profitable than the average insurer.

I like the industry, very profitable (with current administration anyways). High Hazard insurance returns higher Premium with risk being overestimated. Company Posts Profits, Hardly any debt. I see a long-term growth.

On a strictly technical basis, my magic charts say this will outperform the S&P

Looks like time is right to go long Amerisafe.

This company writes worker's compensation insurance for small employers within "dangerous" industries. The balance sheet is healthy and the company recently guided to a combined ratio less than 91% with an ROE north of 20%. Forward P/E less than 8 - good long term value here at $14.81, although it will likely take a while for a small cap within the broader financial services area to find its footing.
