Insurance - Specialty: Fidelity National Financial, Inc. owns the largest revenue base; MBIA Inc. has the fastest current growth.

How has Insurance - Specialty moved against S&P 500?
The line below covers up to 5.2 years and opens on the 5Y view; the buttons cut it shorter. Over the most recent two of them this industry is 32% behind S&P 500. Earnings across its companies grew 4% on average over the last four reported quarters — close to flat. It has been ahead of S&P 500 on a rolling three-month view for 4 weeks running.

Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 17 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.
02 · sector relative strength, before individual stocks
Is Insurance - Specialty outperforming S&P 500?
Insurance - Specialty has underperformed S&P 500 by 14.5% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a lead of 5.1%. 7 of 17 covered companies currently beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. Employers Holdings, Inc. is the strongest against the sector itself at +13.3%.

The central tension: the companies with the most scale are not necessarily the companies creating the most change.
Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.
Bottom line
Insurance - Specialty has underperformed S&P 500 by 14.5% over 52 weeks and 5.1% over 13 weeks. 7 of 17 covered companies beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, while 8 of 17 beat the sector itself. Fidelity National Financial, Inc. leads with income of $14,942 million, based on 9 of 17 comparable companies through Mar 2026.

4-Factor Sector Score
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
Growth & earnings · 35%Capital efficiency · 25%Valuation · 20%Relative strength · 20%
Investors Title Company has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 70% evidence confidence.
Enact Holdings, Inc. has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.
How this score is built, and what the marks mean
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. Financial companies use P/BV÷ROE and asset quality; PEG, industrial OPM and ROCE are excluded. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

Market action
Investors Title Company has the strongest one-year price move in Insurance - Specialty at +31%. Enact Holdings, Inc. leads on Mansfield relative strength against the S&P 500 at +5.5%. 7 of 17 covered companies are above zero on that measure. Every line covers 314 weekly closes through 2026-08-04.
Price and relative strength
Every company, the sector's own index and S&P 500 all start level on the left edge of the window, so only the distance between the lines counts — the highest line has risen the most since then, and the chart at the top of this page is drawn the same way. It opens on one year; the buttons beside it stretch that to three or five.
How far ahead of or behind S&P 500 each company has been running, measured against its own recent average of that comparison, so the flat line at zero IS S&P 500: above it the company is beating the market, below it the market is beating the company. It opens on one year.
The same measure taken against Insurance - Specialty itself instead of the whole market, so the flat line at zero is the sector: above it the company is beating its own peers, which is the sharper test of the two. It opens on one year.

Income Scale & Growth Durability
Fidelity National Financial, Inc. has the highest Income among the 17 Insurance - Specialty companies compared here, at $14,942 million. Essent Group Ltd. is next at $1,279 million. MBIA Inc. has the highest Income growth at the 100% top of the scoring scale, so level and change sit with different companies.
What the numbers say: Fidelity National Financial, Inc. is the scale leader at $14,942 million, 11.7× the revenue of Essent Group Ltd.. MBIA Inc.'s growth is stored at the ≥100% scoring cap; the uncapped TTM change is 109.3% from a $90 million base, with 19 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

Investor read: Fidelity National Financial, Inc. is the scale benchmark; MBIA Inc. is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.
This conclusion weakens if: Fidelity National Financial, Inc.'s growth falls below MBIA Inc.'s for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.
For lenders, reported income is used instead of industrial-company sales. Growth is compared year-on-year.

Funding Base & Its Composition
No company in this Insurance - Specialty comparison reports a funding base figure this section can compare, so the Deposits rank is empty. On Borrowings, Radian Group Inc. is highest at $774 million, across 11 of 17 companies with a usable reading.
What the numbers say: There is not enough comparable evidence to name a reliable deposits leader.
LeaderNo comparable leader
GapNot enough peers
PersistenceNot enough history
Coverage0/17 companies · 0 observations
Investor read: The current leader sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.
This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current borrowings signal.
For banks, debt is operating funding rather than industrial leverage. Deposits and borrowings are therefore shown as funding-base levels; asset quality, funding cost and liquidity determine whether that funding is attractive.

ROA is the cleanest first comparison for lenders because the balance sheet is the operating asset.

Gross NPA — Leaders & Improvers
No company in this Insurance - Specialty comparison reports gross NPA on a comparable basis, so there is nothing to rank here — 0 of 17 companies have a usable current reading. The section is shown rather than removed so an unavailable metric is not mistaken for one that was quietly left out. Filings were read through Jun 2026.
Lower gross NPA is better. Improvement means the ratio is falling, so ranks are intentionally inverted.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality
AXIS Capital Holdings Limited has the lowest P/BV ÷ ROE among the 17 Insurance - Specialty companies compared here, at 0.2×. NMI Holdings, Inc. is next at 0.28×. MBIA Inc. has the lowest P/BV at -0.13×, so level and change sit with different companies. 13 of 17 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.
What the numbers say: AXIS Capital Holdings Limited has the lowest comparable P/BV ÷ ROE at 0.2×, 28.6% below NMI Holdings, Inc.. Only 13 of 17 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree.

Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy.
This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/bv signal.
Banks are compared on P/BV and P/BV÷ROE, not PEG. Lower is better only if asset quality and return durability hold; cheap book value with weakening NPAs is not automatically attractive.

What can make this comparison misleading?
This Insurance - Specialty comparison names 6 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 17 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. 2 of the 7 ranked sections have fewer than three usable current readings. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.
Keep these limits visible
- A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
- A high ROE can be manufactured with leverage. Read it beside ROA and asset quality.
- The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
- An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
- Banks and lenders are not forced through operating-margin or ROCE comparisons; missing lender-specific fields remain visibly missing.
- Thin comparisons: Funding base, Asset quality have fewer than three usable current readings.

How was this comparison built?
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 17 Insurance - Specialty companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-08-04. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.

Insurance - Specialty company comparison FAQs
These 21 answers restate the Insurance - Specialty comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 17 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-08-04. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
Is the Insurance - Specialty sector outperforming S&P 500?
Insurance - Specialty has underperformed S&P 500 by 14.5% over 52 weeks and 5.1% over 13 weeks. 7 of 17 covered companies beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, while 8 of 17 beat the sector itself.
Which Insurance - Specialty company is largest by income?
Fidelity National Financial, Inc. leads with income of $14,942 million, based on 9 of 17 comparable companies through Mar 2026.
Which Insurance - Specialty company is growing fastest?
MBIA Inc. has the fastest current income growth at 100%, across 9 of 17 comparable companies.
Which Insurance - Specialty company has the strongest 4-Factor Sector Score?
Investors Title Company ranks first at 58.9/100 with 70% evidence confidence. The score prioritizes research; it is not a buy recommendation.
Which Insurance - Specialty company has the lowest comparable P/BV-to-ROE?
AXIS Capital Holdings Limited has the lowest comparable P/BV ÷ ROE at 0.2, among 13 of 17 companies whose earnings and growth are steady enough for the ratio to mean anything.
How much history does this Insurance - Specialty comparison include?
The page compares up to 20 reported quarters per company for fundamentals, returns and valuation, ending Jun 2026. Missing observations remain blank rather than being estimated.
How is the 4-Factor Sector Score calculated?
The four visible contributions add directly: growth and earnings up to 35 points, capital efficiency up to 25, valuation up to 20, and relative strength up to 20. Missing or stale evidence moves only the affected contribution toward neutral.
Which Insurance - Specialty company is the biggest?
Fidelity National Financial, Inc. is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month income of $14,942 million, ahead of Essent Group Ltd. at $1,279 million. That covers 9 of 17 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.
Which Insurance - Specialty company makes the most profit?
Fidelity National Financial, Inc. earns the most, at $917 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 9 of 17 comparable companies. Investors Title Company has the fastest profit growth at 31%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which Insurance - Specialty company earns the highest return on capital?
Enact Holdings, Inc. leads on return on assets at 3%, across 13 of 17 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.
Which Insurance - Specialty stock is the cheapest?
On price-to-book divided by return on equity — where a LOWER number is cheaper — AXIS Capital Holdings Limited screens cheapest at 0.2×. Only 13 of 17 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.
Is the Insurance - Specialty sector beating the market?
Insurance - Specialty has underperformed S&P 500 by 14.5% over the last 52 weeks and 5.1% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 7 of 17 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.
Which Insurance - Specialty stock has the strongest price momentum?
Enact Holdings, Inc. has the strongest relative strength against S&P 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.
Which Insurance - Specialty company scores highest for research priority?
Investors Title Company scores 58.9 out of 100 with 70% evidence confidence, from 25.8 points on growth and earnings, 14.4 on capital efficiency, 3.8 on valuation and 14.9 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research.
How many Insurance - Specialty companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?
It compares 17 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals, ending Jun 2026, plus weekly price and relative-strength history. Membership is the full sector list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.
What is the total market cap of the Insurance - Specialty sector?
The 17 Insurance - Specialty companies on this page carry $75,473 million of combined market value. Fidelity National Financial, Inc. is the largest at $13,864 million, about 18% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-08-04.
What is the Insurance - Specialty sector's P/B ratio?
The median price-to-book ratio across the 17 Insurance - Specialty companies on this page is 1.1×, measured on the 16 that report a comparable figure. A sector-level history for this multiple is not held here, so this is a cross-section of today, not a comparison with the sector’s own past. Figures are as of 2026-08-04.
How is the Insurance - Specialty sector performing?
7 of the 17 covered Insurance - Specialty companies are beating S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength. The sector itself is 14.5% behind S&P 500 over 52 weeks on an equal-weight index of its current members. Readings are as of 2026-08-04.
How many Insurance - Specialty stocks are listed in the US?
This comparison covers 17 listed Insurance - Specialty companies in the US, each above the size floor the site applies. The full ranked list is on this page, with reported fundamentals through Jun 2026. Membership is the full industry list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.
Why are some values on this page blank?
A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown. Missing observations are never interpolated, carried forward, or replaced with a similar-looking accounting line, and a company with missing evidence has its research score pulled toward neutral rather than being scored as bad.
Is this investment advice?
No. Every figure here is a deterministic calculation from reported company filings and market data, published for research. It contains no recommendation to buy or sell any security, does not account for your circumstances, and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed adviser.
