HAMILTON, Bermuda, July 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Essent Group Ltd. (NYSE: ESNT) today announced that it will hold a conference call on Friday, August 7, 2026, at 10:00 a.m.

Dividends are one of the best benefits to being a shareholder, but finding a great dividend stock is no easy task. Does Essent Group (ESNT) have what it takes?

ESNT's 2026 story is shaped by constrained mortgage activity, strong persistency, capital strength, investment income and reinsurance expansion.

ESNT's 1.04X book valuation, strong capital returns and protected balance sheet support its appeal, while rates, affordability and reserves weigh.

Essent's outlook rests on whether strong capital, stable mortgage insurance economics and reinsurance can offset higher rates and rising reserves.

Investors interested in stocks from the Insurance - Property and Casualty sector have probably already heard of Essent Group (ESNT) and American Coastal Insurance (ACIC). But which of these two companies is the best option for those looking for undervalued stocks?

Essent Group maintains high net margins by specializing in the niche U.S. mortgage insurance market. Progressive leverages massive scale and data-driven pricing to lead the personal and commercial auto segments.

Zacks Property and Casualty Insurance players like THG, ESNT, MCY, SIGI and SKWD are likely to benefit from digitalization and catastrophes that drive policy renewal rate and pricing.
