Zenith National Insurance Corp. (ZNT)

Taking into account another likely round of foreclosures within the next two years, it will take a good while before this stock realizes its potential of sustainable growth and profit. It presently has all the basics to sail rough seas. Attractive buy now given its sizeable dividend.

5-Star "PYAD" stock:

P - P/E 2/3 that of the market
Y - Yield > 50% market yield
A - Assets; low p/b
D - Modest Debt

The idea being there's limited downside, so sit back, collect your hefty 5% dividend, and let the market correct itself.

Adding a number of dividend stocks to my list.

One of the best run Workers' Compensation specialist companies in the country - their loss ratios are the envy of the rest of the national carriers.

idk

Strong financials (healthy Operating Profit and Profit Margin increase), and decent ROE make for a solid company. Zenith cut loose their rsiky re-insurance business (after Katrina, etc) and is focused on workers comp. Plus a 5 CAPS rating and selling at a 78% discount. Sounds pretty good. Bought in at 34.49 and again at 34.75.

Just opened a position in this today at $36.50. All the numbers looked great to me. ROA and ROI both over 20%...5.5% yield...forward PE of 13 on analyst estimates have this at a 65% return. Cash flow triple the current dividend pointing to more dividend raises.

129 outperforms and 3 underperforms,

come on now,

insurance business down the tubes now, Warren Buffet with huge insurance investments is taking a beating now in this climate, people hate financials,

the name Zenith reminds me of a TV manufacturer who i believe is now bankrupt.

softballcoach is throwing all curve balls

1. Currently trading at a historically low price.

2. Low P/E

3. Low P/Cash Flow Ration

4. Pays Dividend

5. Earnings Growing, Dividends Growing

6. Low Debt

7. Boring Industry

8. Under the radar

9. Great Profit Margin

10. Great ROE

My target price for this stock is 540.29 (probably just another glitch in my method)

Dividend keeps getting better and better. Seems like this is a good entry position.

Believe sub $38 is the right price fundamentally and technically to initiate long term position in Zenith National. Core financials for this workman's comp. provider remain high quality. Near term impact of increased claims/compeition, particularly in California, appear largely discounted by stocks nearly 30% drop since the summer. ROE north of 25%; forward P/e under 8 - good value here for patient longs.

SOLID WORKMAN'S COMP INSURANCE COMPANY. Has a history of raising dividends.

Hurray for dividends!

Solid company that pays a decent dividend, 4%.

Insurance industry is a good place to make money. Low PE good dividend good chart of continued growth and dividends. Plus cash and low debt.
