Price/Cash Flow Screener

SAFT has lagged the market's rise, with Price/Book Value around 0.91 there is plenty of upside with considerably less downside than the market now has.
Here's Safety Insurance's historical book value.

stock screener

PEG less than one, payout ratio less than 50%, 5 year dividend growth rate of 36%, dividend yield of 5%, small cap, 16% insider holdings

I agree with Ag81...the numbers on this company are unreal.

P/B < 1 (0.81)
PEG < 1 (0.56)
Dividend Payout = 40%
Net Profit Margin = 10.96%
ROE = 10.59%

Dividend yield at $32.00 = 5.00%

Good amount of institutional ownership...and an optionable stock.

I'm in at $32.00 and below...this looks like a good one.

Love the numbers. Nice dividend, high (relatively) insider holdings, not far off 52 week low. This stock should do well.

Just came back to this pick after a long CAPS absence. Financials in this company have deteriorated, as they have with most companies. What attracts me is the simplicity of their balance sheet. $1 billion of their $1.4 billion was invested in AAA/Aaa bonds. $775 million of their $834 million in liabilities was from insurance policies. No nonsense business that is depressed in earnings (temporarily) and stock price (also temporarily). With a very low P/E and a very high, secure dividend, this would be a place I would feel confident in investing my money.

Dividend over 4, payout under 40, P/E under 8, good cash flow, no debt, simple business model, close to 52wk low- I like it.

good numbers

WIth the current market depressed, this company looks good in the short term; however, its past dictates that it will underperform the market at large when the market is up.

For some reason The Safety Dance keeps running through my head. I can't tell you if this is a good thing or not.

Car insurer bloodsuckers.

(Okay, okay: car insurers are necessary and sometimes friendly agents for automotive safety. But I still don't have to like paying them $1,000's.)

Small regional insurance company with no debt, high dividends, and limited risk. Let the big boys get buried by their complex financial dealings. I'll take the small, regional, old-fashioned, boring insurance companies in this environment.

It was one of 2 stocks that popped up in my screen

P/E 7.56

CAPS

477:13 Total Players

181:6 All Stars

2:0 Street

As with all my picks: A very attractive P/E, excellent EPS growth rate and high five year growth prospects.

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...
