Biggest thing to watch: the net margin is the best this company has ever reported.

Mercury General Corporation's share price was $88.93 at the close on 4 November 2026. It has been moving sideways for 1 week. That is 10.0% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $84 and $110, and at that close it sat 20% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 10 weeks running. Over the last 10 years the share price moved +66% while the S&P 500 moved +261%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 28 August 2026. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Mercury General pay? Mercury General Corporation paid $1.27 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.32 for Jun 2026. At today's price of $88.93 that is a yield of 1.43%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is Mercury General on? Mercury General is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Mercury General profitable? Mercury General Corporation earned $264 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +58.3% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY25 profit was $541 M. Over 4 years profit has grown 21.5% a year on average. That is 15.7% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $166 M. 2 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. For the full year, FY25 profit was $541 M (+15.6% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +13.8% on a year earlier and the margin moved +4.4 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +60.1% and revenue +10.5%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra dollar of revenue adds more to profit. ## How much revenue does Mercury General make, and is it growing? Mercury General Corporation reported $1.7 B of income in the Jun 2026 quarter, +13.8% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 6th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 10.7% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $6.0 B. The last four reported quarters add to $6.3 B. FY25 revenue was $6.0 B, +9.7% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +10.5% on average, against 10.7% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing at about the same pace as its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +10.3%, against +12.4% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew +140.2%, against +71.3% a year (accelerating). ## How much does Mercury General keep from what it earns? Mercury General Corporation's net margin was 15.7% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 4.4 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 5 years it has been between −14.1% and 9.0%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Across 5 years it has been between −14.1% and 9.0%, and FY25's 9.0% is the highest of them. Why: the net margin move is clear, but the cost details behind it are not in our data, so we show the move without guessing the reason. When margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so watch whether they hold. ## How many of Mercury General's loans have gone bad? Mercury General Corporation does not report loan-quality figures this page can read, so this section says so rather than guess. No bad-loan figures are filed in a form this page can read, and none are guessed from the profit line. The income, margin and return sections carry what this business does report. Why: loan quality drives a lender, but its details (new bad loans, recoveries, money set aside) are not in our data for this company. The sections around this one carry what we can back up. ## How fast is Mercury General's loan book growing? Mercury General Corporation's revenue was $6.0 B in FY25, +9.7% on the year before, so the loan book is growing. The latest quarter was +13.8% on a year earlier. The net margin on that income is 15.7%, +4.4 percentage points on a year ago. Interest income stands in for the size of the loan book; changes in interest rates can move it a few points in any year. In short: a lender grows well when its loan book grows, its margin stays steady and its loans stay clean. Quarterly loan-quality figures are missing here, so revenue growth and margin are the two we watch. ## What is Mercury General's P/BV ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Mercury General Corporation's P/BV is 1.7×, in the middle of its own history: higher than 56% of past readings. Its usual P/BV (the middle reading) is 1.6×, over 5.3 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year book value grew while the price moved +6.4%. Price and book value moved together, so the multiple stayed in its range. Where the price move came from: over 5 years the price moved +9.9% a year; about +5.7% a year came from book-value growth and about +4.2 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying more). The split is approximate (price return minus book-value growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is about average against its own past, so the book value trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Mercury General business getting better or worse? Mercury General Corporation's business trend cannot be read yet. There are fewer than eight usable quarters of growth figures, so there is not enough history to read the trend. This is based on 12 quarters of 2 measures, with some gaps. Why it matters: with too little history, we say so rather than guess a direction. There are fewer than eight usable quarters, so this page does not guess a direction from so little history. ## How much does Mercury General earn on its equity and assets? Mercury General Corporation earned a return on equity of 22% in FY25. Its lowest yearly reading on file was −34% in FY22. On its assets, every $100 earned about $5.19, before the effect of borrowing. For a lender the balance sheet is the business, so the return on equity and on assets have to be read together. That is above the level a bank needs to grow its net worth steadily. Why ROE moved: profit grew 21.5% a year over 4 years while net worth grew more slowly. When earnings recover faster than net worth builds up, ROE climbs off its low. ## Does Mercury General have too much debt? For a bank, borrowing is the raw material of the business, not a warning sign: it borrows money in order to lend it out. Its safety is read through its returns and its loans. Its safety is read from the bad-loan figures and the return on equity instead. For a manufacturer, debt is a claim on its profits. For a lender it is the stock it trades in, so the usual debt-to-equity test would mislead and is not used here. ## What is the Mercury General shareholding pattern? 6.0% of Mercury General Corporation's tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 4.8 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Mercury General from balance-sheet trouble? For Mercury General Corporation, the Z-score is not used, because it was built for manufacturers, not lenders. For a lender, safety is read from its capital and bad-loan figures instead. ## How does Mercury General rank in its industry? 59.8 out of 100, rank 10 of 30 in Insurance - Property & Casualty, with 76% of the evidence available. Mercury General Corporation scores 59.8 out of 100 against the 30 companies it is compared with in Insurance - Property & Casualty, ranking 10. Earnings are strong; relative strength in its sector is -20.9% and the one-year return is 6.4%. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 26.8 + 17.3 + 15.1 + 0.6 = 59.8. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if ROA turns down or gross NPA rises while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Mercury General compared with?

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. 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 path the industry 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 growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.
