Is NMI Holdings (NMIH) a high-quality business?+

What does NMI Holdings's quality score measure?+
Intrinsiqq's quality score weighs profitability, returns on capital, revenue growth, and balance-sheet strength, using measures suited to banks, insurers and other financial companies (where free-cash-flow and operating-margin metrics do not apply), each computed from NMIH's SEC filings rather than opinion or sentiment. A higher score means a more durable, capital-efficient business; it is not a buy or sell signal. Open each metric on this page to see exactly where NMI Holdings scores well and where it falls behind.
What is NMI Holdings's return on invested capital (ROIC)?+
NMI Holdings earns about 13.0% on its invested capital, which is solid. ROIC measures how much profit a company generates per dollar put to work; sustained ROIC above its cost of capital is one of the clearest signs of a real competitive moat. Compare it to NMIH's margins and growth on this scorecard to judge durability.
How profitable is NMI Holdings?+
NMI Holdings runs an operating margin of about 69.3% and a net margin of about 54.1%. Revenue has grown at roughly 10.3% a year recently. High, stable margins usually point to pricing power and operating discipline. Margins are most telling next to growth and returns on capital, all of which feed this quality score. This is analysis from SEC filings, not investment advice.
