Title Insurance Industry

Posted on February 12, 2010.
Title Insurance IndustryCalculating the price / book value in the insurance industry as?

I deleted the goodwill and intangible assets of book value, calculated on a basis of outstanding shares, but the numbers simply do not add up.
How can Price / BV be ...
Stewart Title 15.12/26.04
LandAmerica 7.55/13.77
American First 18.82/.43
Fidelity 7.81/.01!?

I'm not sure what your question.

Are you disappointed that the report is not a constant? Why should it be. Book value is not very significant in the first place. Secondly, the price is linked to what people are willing to pay and people are looking for earnings, not liquidation value of assets.
