Life insurance company selling at a .52 price to book ratio. Am I seeing that right? I've only spent a few minutes looking it over, but I'd assume the market is concerned with the levered assets and even though there nearly all AAA rated bonds, I can't help but to wonder what AAA means?

Historically it trades well below book value, but %50 of book value would be atypical. Look for the price to catch up to the value on this one.

Mitch: Did you know there's a guy living in our closet?
Chris Knight: You've seen him too?
Mitch: Who is he?
Chris Knight: Hollyfeld.
Mitch: Why does he keep going into our closet?
Chris Knight: Why do you keep going into our closet?
Mitch: To get my clothes - but that's not why he goes in there.
Chris Knight: Of course not, he's twice your size - your clothes would never fit him.
Mitch: Yeah...
Chris Knight: Think before you ask these questions, Mitch. Twenty points higher than me? Thinks a big guy like that can wear your clothes?

Blatantly undervalued. P/B is only .4, a P/E of 7 and NWLI is approaching its 52 week low.

I'm going to use today's market volatility to short today and get out when I get some green numbers for a few extra CAPS points

Trades at a steep discount to tangible book value, but management appears unwilling to pay more than a paltry dividend or repurchase shares. The latter would be especially accretive at these prices. Still a tempting value play with considerable margin of safety.

The company trades at 0.5X net tangible assets. They have no debt, a trailing P/E of 11 and they remained profitable throughout the Great Recession.

A ChrisGraley pick to outperform plus a tiny dividend. Trading right now below the 20, 50, & 200 day moving averages. Really plunged recently. The CEO Mr. Moody owns significant and controling interest in the class A & B shares. He's also 74 years old and there are different trusts set up to own shares for the children. To top it all off the book value of NWLI is over $300 and they're now trading near $130.
I'm just not sure what has been driving the stock down. Will it bounce back. I'm betting on it in CAPS.
This will be an interesting company to watch for awhile.

0.4 x book. Book undervalued as per chris mayer as bonds are at cost. Life insurers trade at 0.7x book.

Trading at less than half of its tangible book value, PE of about 8.5. 2Q income fell a bit but even if that level of earnings holds, stock is still trading at less than 10 P/E. Doing very well considering the low interest rate environment.
