What matters now
- Solid quality (68/100) at a price below fair value, the discount is the argument here, not the business quality.
- For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.
Price vs Fair Value (5 years)
White line = price, green steps = our fair value per fiscal year, dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 29, 2026.
How to read this chart
60‑month range $15.48 – $45.71 · fair‑value band $42.40 – $70.67 · the $45.39 price screens below the $56.53 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 29, 2026.
Analysis
NMI Holdings Inc (NMIH) currently trades at $45.39, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $56.53, implying the stock looks roughly 19.7% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 68/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bull case: the Multiples group reads highest at a median of $47.76 per share, and 3 of the 6 models we run sit above the $45.39 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at $22.86, and 3 of the 6 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.
Over the trailing twelve months, NMI Holdings Inc generated revenue of $717M at a net margin of 53.8%. Revenue grew 5.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 15.6%. Net debt stands at $373M. Fundamentals as of Aug 29, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $42.40 (bear case) to $70.67 (bull case); at $45.39, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades near its 52-week high and 30% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at 27% fair-value upside, at 25%, NMIH screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 8 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly $3.34 per share, which is 5.9 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
All 6 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples ($47.76) versus Dividend Discount ($1.78). Highest evidence: Gordon GGM (67).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 66 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 74
Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
