Q: This is a mortgage insurer with great fundamentals: TTM PE 5.8, ROE 11.6%, P/B of 0.65, D/E of 13%, low P.R. and has beat EPS last 3 Q 2015 & increased it's dividend in Nov. 2015. The company does not think we are going to have a real estate crash - neither do I - only caveat is AB - what is their exposure there as a % of their total book? This is a pure negative sentiment play, I guess? Stock is down a lot since Nov. 25 th even with the D > & EPS beat. What am I missing here??
