Understand MGIC Investment Corporation: how it makes money

MGIC’s profit model is driven by the size and performance of its insured mortgage portfolio, premiums collected on covered loans, and what happens later when delinquencies turn into defaults (loss outcomes reflected through loss ratio and loss reserve development).

Business quality (Solid): MGIC’s operating focus is on insured loan volume and credit performance over time, with results that can be influenced by delinquency trends and the subsequent development of loss reserves.
