What are Wall Street analysts saying about Amerisafe stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Amerisafe stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Amerisafe's shares have outperformed its industry in a year's time. Its revenue growth catching up along with a rebound in net investment income should aid its top-line growth. Its strong balance sheet is another positive. The company's consistently increasing return on equity highlights its efficiency in using shareholder’s funds. Amerisafe’s efficient claims management, good underwriting results, favorable loss and frequency trends, prudent reserve analytics, and improved operating leverage also bode well. However, a rise in expenses remains a headwind for the company. Its exposure to product concentration is another concern. A Zacks Rank #2 and Earnings ESP of 0.00% leaves us inconclusive of an earnings surprise as it reports fourth quarter results on Feb 27." (2/19/2019)
- 2. Boenning Scattergood analysts commented, "We maintain our Neutral rating. Key Points: Reported Results: AMERISAFE reported 1Q18 operating EPS of $0.86 versus our estimate of $0.81 and consensus of $0.77. The beat was largely due to stronger-than-expected underwriting results. Operating ROE was 15.4%." (4/26/2018)
