Small-cap stocks can be incredibly lucrative investments because their lack of analyst coverage leads to frequent mispricings.
However, these businesses (and their stock prices) often stay small because their subscale operations make it harder to expand their competitive moats.
The end of an earnings season can be a great time to discover new stocks and assess how companies are handling the current business environment. Let’s take a look at how Essent Group (NYSE:ESNT) and the rest of the property & casualty insurance stocks fared in Q1.
Wall Street traded slightly lower by midday Friday, as investors adopted a wait-and-see stance ahead of a potential trade breakthrough, with high-stakes negotiations between U.S. officials—led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent—and Chinese authorities set to unfold over the weekend.
ESSENT GROUP LTD has a stellar value proposition. NYSE:ESNT not only scores well in profitability, solvency, and liquidity but also maintains a very reasonable price point.
