Analysis

Weak and unloved

First American Financial Corporation scores below average on quality and is priced accordingly, a low-conviction position in either direction.

On valuation, the picture is attractive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 9.3×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year.

Growth is solid; the safety picture is fragile. The company scores 20/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator. Analysts lean positive.

Flags to be aware of: Some accounting patterns deserve a closer look. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
