What are Wall Street analysts saying about Genworth Financial stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Genworth Financial stock:
- 1. BTIG Research analysts commented, "Financial’s (GNW) deal to be acquired by $5.43 per share in cash had been viewed as a binary event featuring two key hurdles: approvals from both the States (CFIUS) and the Insurance (DDOI). One of which was removed when the Genworth stated in a press release on Saturday that CFIUS had completed its review of the proposed transaction and concluded that there are no unresolved national security concerns." (6/12/2018)
- 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Genworth has agreed to be acquired by China Oceanwide. The merger will consolidate Genworth’s financial position in the mortgage insurance and long-term care insurance markets. Also, it will remain committed toward its key financial priorities of strengthening the balance sheet and stabilizing and improving ratings over time, particularly in its U.S. MI business. It is intensifying focus on streamlining and rationalizing business to mainly improve performance and enhance financial and strategic flexibility. However, new products and pricing changes in the U.S. Life Insurance Division implemented over the past couple of years led to lower sales for Genworth. Shares of Genworth have underperformed the industry in a year’s time. With respect to quarterly results, Genworth’s fourth-quarter 2017 earnings outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate and also compared favorably with the year-ago quarter’s loss." (3/6/2018)
- 3. Wells Fargo & Co analysts commented, "We confirmed that RBC estimate assumes no cash contribution to GLIC from the holding company. The estimate does not include the impact of tax reform on certain other factors in the RBC calculation, which was sized by GNW management on the recent Q4 2017 conference call to be 5060 additional points."
