MBIA Inc.
MBIMBIA Inc.'s balance sheet is under water — net worth is negative, so it owes more than it owns. This is a distressed, high-risk situation — the equity can be wiped by dilution or restructuring before operations recover. Not a value setup.
Biggest watch item: the price is not yet in a confirmed uptrend — timing risk, not thesis risk.
The price is between stages. But the balance sheet is under water: net worth is negative, so shareholders sit behind everyone the company owes. What settles it: whether the business can earn its way back to positive equity before dilution or restructuring gets there first.
Price story Before the numbers, the tape. A stock price moves through four repeating seasons: a flat base (stage 1), an advance (2), a top (3), a decline (4). Where the price sits in that cycle frames everything below.
MBIA Inc. trades at $5.3, between stages. That is −18.5% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 5% of a 52-week range of $5 to $8. On relative strength it is currently behind the S&P 500 on a trailing-13-week view (3 weeks and counting).
Today the stock is between stages. At $5.3 it trades −18.5% versus its 200-day average and sits at 5% of its 52-week range ($5–$8).
Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 1.1 years the stock moved +19% while the S&P 500 moved +24% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (3 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-07-17) — the ribbon below is that same metric, week by week.
What would end the trend, mechanically: two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day line. That is the exit rule — no debates.
Valuation For a bank we price the book, not the earnings: P/BV is what the market pays for each $1 of the bank's net worth. A bank below 1× book is priced below the value of what it owns, net of what it owes.
P/BV does not price MBIA Inc. — earnings are negative, so there is no multiple to rank against its own history. The revenue and margin lines below are where a turn, when it comes, would show first. A P/BV returns here the first period the bottom line turns positive.
With earnings negative, P/BV does not price — there is no multiple to rank against its own history. The revenue and margin lines below are where the turn, when it comes, will show first.
Put together: the multiple is unremarkable against its own past, so the story rests on the book-value line underneath it, not the multiple.
Stage: No read Every business sits somewhere on a fundamental arc, and this page names the spot before anything else. The last twelve quarters of revenue, profit and EPS growth — plus the return the business earns on its capital — are read as curves: Deteriorating (the curves are falling), Turning around (a trough has just formed and the last few quarters lift off it), Improving (the climb off the trough is sustained), Consistent (steadily positive with healthy returns), Topping out (still high but decelerating from the peak). When the curves genuinely disagree the read is Mixed; too little history is No read. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the smooth yearly pace that turns the starting value into the latest one — the fairest way to compare growth across different time spans. Read the columns together: if the 1-year number towers over the 10-year, recent growth is running hotter than the long-run trend. A dash means that window is not held, or the base year was a loss (where a growth rate is not meaningful).
MBIA Inc. reads as no read on its fundamental arc. Under eight usable quarters on the growth trio — not enough history for an honest trajectory read. The read is built from 10 quarters across 2 curves, on partial evidence.
Why it matters: with too little history, an honest page says so instead of guessing a trajectory.
The latest quarter’s profit carries a one-off item larger than the operating base, so the profit curve is shown but does not vote in the stage call.
Return readings here are annual, not quarterly — read as level and direction only; they can confirm the growth curves but never drive the stage on their own.
Fewer than eight usable quarters on the growth curves — this page will not guess a trajectory from a stub of history.

4-Factor Sector Score
42.0/100 — rank 14 of 17 in Insurance - Specialty · 49% evidence confidence · provisional, ranked below fully-evidenced peers
MBIA Inc. scores 42.0 out of 100 against the 17 companies it is compared with in Insurance - Specialty, ranking 14. Fill the missing evidence before acting; the ranking is deliberately pulled toward neutral.
The four contributions add to the total exactly: 23 + 6.2 + 9.8 + 3 = 42. This is the SAME number shown on the sector comparison — it is computed once, for the whole peer set, and read here.
What would change it: The read weakens if ROA rolls over or gross NPA rises while sector-relative strength deteriorates.
Revenue For a bank, revenue is everything the franchise earns — interest on the loan book plus fees from its businesses.
MBIA Inc. reported $0.0 B of income in the Mar 26 quarter, +100.0% year on year. Over 4 years it has compounded at −19.4% a year. The last full year, FY25, came in at $0.1 B. The last four reported quarters add to $0.1 B.
FY25 revenue came in at $0.1 B (+100.0% on the year), capping 4 years at −19.4% compound. The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed $0.0 B, +100.0% year on year.
Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +2.8% growth against the decade's −19.4% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.
Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +100.0% over the last 4 quarters against +100.0%/yr over the last 8 — stabilising.
Net margin Net margin — what the bank keeps of every $100 of revenue after every cost, provision and tax. With big fee businesses in the mix, it is the cleanest margin we can read for this bank.
MBIA Inc.'s net margin is −200.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, +400.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 fiscal years the net margin has ranged −4,900.0% to −133.3%. The current quarter sits inside that band.
The latest quarter's net margin is −200.0%, +400.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 fiscal years the net margin has ranged −4,900.0%–−133.3%.
Why: the numbers show the net margin move clearly, but the cost lines behind it sit below what we hold — so we state the move without inventing its driver.
Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.
MBIA Inc. posted a net loss of $0.04 B in the Mar 26 quarter. The full FY25 year was a loss of $0.2 B. That loss is 200.0% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier lost $0.1 B. 12 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.
Mar 26 profit was $−0.0 B, null year on year. On the full year, FY25 printed $−0.2 B (null).
Asset quality — the ladder Gross NPA is the slice of the loan book where repayments have stopped. Net NPA is what remains after the money already set aside against those loans. Falling is healing; rising is damage arriving.
Loan-book quality history is not available for MBIA Inc., so this section names the gap rather than estimating a ratio. No gross or net non-performing-asset series is filed in a form this page can read, and none is inferred from the profit line. The income, margin and return sections above carry the evidence this business does report.
We do not hold quarterly loan-book quality numbers for this bank, so this section states that plainly rather than working around it.
Why: loan-book quality is the engine room of a bank, and its drivers — slippages, recoveries, provisioning — sit below what we hold for this name; the sections around it carry the reads we can stand behind.
The loan book We read the loan book through revenue — when the book and the businesses grow, revenue grows with them. It is a rough proxy, and we say so: rate moves and fee swings can shift it a few points in any one year.
MBIA Inc.'s revenue grew +100.0% in FY25 to $0.1 B, so the book is growing. The latest quarter ran +100.0% year on year. The net margin on that income is −200.0%, +400.0 percentage points against a year ago. Interest income is a proxy for the book; rate moves can shift it a few points in any one year.
FY25 revenue was $0.1 B, +100.0% on the year, and the latest quarter ran +100.0% year on year. The net margin on that revenue is −200.0% this quarter (+400.0 pp YoY) — growth with a widening margin on it.
The synthesis: a lender compounds when the book grows while the margin holds and the loan book stays clean — with quarterly loan-quality numbers missing here, revenue growth and margin are the two we watch.
Returns on equity and assets Two numbers rate a bank: ROE — what it earns on shareholder money — and ROA — what it earns on everything it deploys. ROE above ~13–15% earns its keep; below that, growth builds book slowly.
MBIA Inc. earns a return on equity of 8% in FY25. Its trough over the ladder below was 8% in FY25. On the asset side every $100 of the balance sheet earned about $1.28, which is the return before leverage is applied.
FY25 ROE came in at 8%. On assets, the latest reading is about 1.28% — every $100 the bank deploys earns roughly $1.28 a year. That return is below the bar a bank must clear to compound book value quickly — which is also the honest reason the stock trades where it does.
Why: the ROE ladder shows the move; the deposit-cost and provisioning drivers behind it sit below what we hold.
Dividend
MBIA Inc. pays no dividend. Across the last 12 reported quarters it has declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to quote. Companies at this stage typically reinvest earnings rather than distribute them, which makes the cash-flow and reinvestment sections the place that cash shows up.
MBIA Inc. does not currently pay a dividend. Across the last 12 reported quarters the company has declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to quote. Companies at this stage typically reinvest earnings instead of distributing them.
Debt
For a bank, borrowings are raw material, not a warning sign — solvency is read through the returns and the loan book. A manufacturer’s debt is a claim against its profits, so the debt-to-equity lens that works everywhere else misleads on a lender and is not applied here.
A manufacturer’s debt is a claim against its profits; a bank’s borrowings are its inventory — money taken in to be lent out. The debt lens that works everywhere else misleads here, so this page does not apply it. The solvency questions for a bank — is the loan book sound, is the equity earning — are read through the loan-book and returns sections above.
Ownership There is no quarter-by-quarter holder register to read here, so we read the crowd through short interest — the slice of tradable shares currently sold short, positioned for a fall.
5.9% of MBIA Inc.'s tradable float is currently sold short — some money is positioned against it. At typical trading volumes those positions would take about 7.5 days to buy back. There is no quarter-by-quarter holder register to read for this filer, so the crowd is read through short interest instead.
The latest reading: 5.9% of the float is sold short, and at typical trading volumes it would take about 7.5 days to buy those positions back. Some money is positioned against it. This is a single point-in-time reading — we do not yet hold its history, so we show no trend chart.
Why it sits there: who is doing the shorting, and why, does not travel with the number — the level is shown without inventing its story.
Safety line The Z-score estimates how far a company sits from balance-sheet distress — above roughly 3 is safe, below roughly 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not applied to banks and lenders.
MBIA Inc.: the Z-score is omitted — it was built for manufacturers, not banks, and applying it here would be theatre. The Z-score was built for manufacturers and is not applied to banks and lenders, so solvency here is read from the capital and asset-quality lines instead.
The safety line in one sentence: the Z-score is omitted — it was built for manufacturers, not banks, and applying it here would be theatre.

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.

How is MBIA Inc. performing?
MBIA Inc.'s latest readings are below. Against the S&P 500 it has been behind on a trailing-13-week view for 3 weeks. This describes what the data did, not a rating. — as of 5 August 2026.
Is MBIA Inc. beating the market?
Not lately — on a trailing-13-week view MBIA Inc. is currently behind the S&P 500 (3 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-07-17), the same metric the week-by-week ribbon on this page draws.

Is the market betting against MBIA Inc.?
Somewhat — short interest is 5.9% of MBIA Inc.'s tradable float, about 7.5 days to cover at typical volumes. A moderate reading: some money is positioned against it. With no quarter-by-quarter holder register here, short interest is the cleanest crowd read we hold — as of 5 August 2026.
Is MBIA Inc.'s loan book healthy?
We do not hold quarterly loan-book quality numbers for MBIA Inc., so this page says that plainly. The cleanest available reads are revenue growth (+100.0% in FY25) and the net margin on it (−200.0%) — as of 5 August 2026.
Where is MBIA Inc. in its business cycle?
MBIA Inc.'s FY25 net margin was −225.0%, against a 5-year band of −4,900.0%–−133.3%: mid-band by its own history — neither the peak that precedes mean-reversion nor the trough that precedes recovery. The latest quarter ran −200.0%. Profitability versus a company's own long band is the cleanest cycle clock this page holds — as of 5 August 2026.
What could break the MBIA Inc. story?
Biggest watch item: the price is not yet in a confirmed uptrend — timing risk, not thesis risk. Mechanically, two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day average would end the price trend — that is the exit rule this page tracks — as of 5 August 2026.
Is MBIA Inc. a stock worth studying right now?
This is not investment advice. The machine read: MBIA Inc.'s balance sheet is under water — net worth is negative, so it owes more than it owns. This is a distressed, high-risk situation — the equity can be wiped by dilution or restructuring before operations recover. Not a value setup. The sharpest open question: whether the business can earn its way back to positive equity before dilution or restructuring gets there first. Every number on this page is drawn deterministically from the raw series, with no forecasts and no price opinions — as of 5 August 2026.
