Mercury General (MCY) - Undervalued, Cash-Generative Auto-Insurer Worth Buying After the Wildfire Noise
Mercury General screens as a classic insurance recovery trade: manageable balance sheet, strong free cash flow ($990.9M), attractive multiples (EV/EBITDA 6.6, P/E ~11.2), and improving underwriting after a year of elevated catastrophe headlines. I recommend a long entry with a clear stop and a multi-horizon target plan.
