NMI Holdings is upgraded to "buy" after recent share underperformance, with valuation now attractive at under 8x earnings and 1.1x book value. Earnings are expected to moderate as legacy low-loss policies shrink and new business faces higher normalized loss ratios, but credit deterioration should remain manageable. NMIH benefits from a strong balance sheet, conservative underwriting, and rising investment income, supporting continued buybacks and capital flexibility.

NMI Holdings remains poised to gain from higher new insurance written volume, a comprehensive reinsurance program and prudent capital deployment.
