Radian Group has acquired Inigo for $1.67 billion, expanding its insurance portfolio beyond U.S. housing market exposure to include specialty property & casualty and reinsurance. This diversification is expected to improve combined ratios to 90%-92% and add about $0.35 per share in earnings despite tighter margins. While Radian's mortgage insurance is becoming riskier as older low-risk policies expire, credit quality remains strong with ongoing reserve releases. Shares trade below 8 times earnings with a 3% dividend yield, supported by asset sales and resumed buybacks, leading to a maintained "Buy" rating with over 15% upside potential.
