Both deals happened to be highly accretive so EPS is not comparable, but I hear you that it should be a better historical metric than revenue or EBITDA. I also have my concerns about housing and... login to read the rest view available tags

Ragnar - Thanks, yeah, I'm aware of the acquisitions they've made, but these haven't made the business any less cyclical. EPS is actually the one metric that should remain fairly comparable following acquisitions, don't you think? To... login to read the rest view available tags

Historical EPS is not comparable. FNF bought LPS, which will be highly accretive. They also bought Land America. In general, I haven't found the sell-side great on this name. Despite a mkt cap of nearly... login to read the rest view available tags

Ragnar - you may be right but personally I think you seem way too aggressive in your estimates. "Normalized earnings is somewhere between $3-3.50"? They haven't done EPS like that except in the epic 04-06... login to read the rest view available tags

Ragnar0307, yes, we agree it’s certainly a positive as FNF has now had several months to quantify the specific cost opportunities. The language is below. This is well above the $100 mm originally presented at... login to read the rest view available tags
13	member 1/15/14 4:40PM Great incentives for LPS synergies!
Has anyone else read through this 8K? My quick read is very positive. It sounds like mgmt will get zero if they hit their target of $100MM and will get up to $95MM if they... login to read the rest view available tags

Great write-up, solid thesis. I was wondering what you would recommend as a good hedge against an FNF long position. view available tags

Concensus now seems to be that Ben will now go ahead with the taper. I think shorting the mortgage focused companies is still viable, particularly as a market hedge. I was wondering if you ever went view available tags

For what it's worth, Matt Morris (STC CEO) spoke at the Stephens conference today and said they have not seen a downtick in refi order count recently. Apparently as real estate prices have risen it... login to read the rest view available tags

Cuyler makes a good case for STC, imo. Anyone else feel free to chime in. view available tags
