Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

I believe FNF to be extremely undervalued. My DCF model gives it an intrinsic value of appr. $30 per share.





I believe the crisis is over for the best title insurers like FNF and although they may not grow sales back to pre-housing bust levels in the near future I do see FNF...More

Reorganization redux; this time the Title giant will stand alone and seperate from the technology company. Housing bubble but Foley will right the ship through the storm.

Largest title insurance company after acquisition. Undervalued and a nice dividend.

primary business is title insurance, suffering from the general real estate environment. virtually every property with a mortgage requires title insurance. The top 5 companies control 93% of the market and this is the biggest. The dividend was cut to 60 cents annually in dec/08 from $1.20. I own this one personally from $14.00

I believe FNF to be extremely undervalued. My DCF model gives it an intrinsic value of appr. $30 per share.





I believe the crisis is over for the best title insurers like FNF and although they may not grow sales back to pre-housing bust levels in the near future I do see FNF growing sales back to the $7 Billion mark by FY2015. Of course free cash flow will also go along for the ride. I think that this stock is a buy anywhere under $22 per share, so at its current price of $14 it really is a steal.





Also of note; in the past 9 months, FNF has gained 0.8% market share on its closest rival FAF and currently has 46.8% of the title insurance market. It is the first time this has occured in over 20 years and may be a sign that the company has adapted much better than its rival to the recent changes in the industry.





Another interesting metric is revenue per employee. FNF generates twice as much sales per employee than FAF.





I strongly recommend buying FNF.
