MGIC Investment Corporation reported its financial results for the first quarter of 2026, revealing a total revenue of $297.1 million, a decrease from $306.2 million in the same period last year. The company's net income for the quarter was $165.3 million, down from $185.5 million in Q1 2025. Earnings per share remained stable at $0.76 for both basic and diluted shares, reflecting a consistent performance in terms of profitability despite the overall revenue decline.
The company's premium income showed a slight increase, with net premiums written totaling $234.9 million compared to $235.3 million in the previous year. However, the decrease in total revenues was attributed to a significant drop in net gains on investments, which fell to a loss of $0.2 million from a gain of $0.7 million in the prior year. Additionally, losses incurred increased to $33.2 million from $9.6 million, primarily due to a rise in new delinquencies and higher estimated severity on current year delinquencies.
Operationally, MGIC's total assets decreased to $6.42 billion as of March 31, 2026, down from $6.64 billion at the end of 2025. The company reported a loss reserve of $499.1 million, an increase from $465.0 million in the previous year, indicating a proactive approach to managing potential claims. The company’s available assets exceeded the minimum required assets under the Private Mortgage Insurer Eligibility Requirements (PMIERs), ensuring compliance and eligibility to insure loans purchased by government-sponsored enterprises.
In terms of strategic developments, MGIC continued its share repurchase program, buying back 7.2 million shares for $192.6 million during the quarter. The company also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share, consistent with its previous dividend policy. Looking ahead, MGIC remains focused on maintaining its capital position and compliance with regulatory requirements while navigating the challenges posed by market conditions and increasing delinquencies. The company anticipates that its strategic initiatives will support its long-term growth and stability in the mortgage insurance sector.
