Old Republic International Corporation- The stock for Opis? Part 1. here: https://getqu.in/HKAf7p/
Debt
The Net Debt to EBITDA ratio of 2 is solid and shows that Old Republic International is financially well positioned. The available cash is immediately reinvested and can be found in the company's Total Investment. Compared to its competitors, ORI has the best net debt, which underlines the financial stability and efficient management of the capital structure.
ROIC & more
Compared to its competitors $ORI (-0,19 %) Republic International also does not perform particularly well in terms of ROIC (Return on Invested Capital). This puts the company in the midfield, which is somewhat disappointing in view of its other key figures.
Old Republic International's ROE (return on equity) is acceptable, but is the weakest compared to its competitors.
The return on capital employed (ROCE) is average and not one of the top performers.
With a payout ratio of 42%, the company is within the fair range. However, earnings per share (EPS) fluctuate, which has already been explained in detail. In a good year, considerable profits can be made, while in a less successful year, earnings are correspondingly lower. The current dividend yield is just under 3% - a yield that is neither particularly outstanding nor disappointing. On a positive note, however, the dividend per share (DPS) has risen every two years in recent years.
In comparison, earnings per share (EPS) are rather weak, as is the growth rate, which is also unimpressive.
Conclusion
The company is certainly interesting, but there are also some naja aspects. Securing investments through liquidity leaves a lot to be desired and raises numerous questions. One positive aspect is the outstanding gross profit, which indicates good customer relationships and generates immediate profits. However, sales are stagnating and show little growth, while KPIs are disappointing.
While the company is not a bad investment, I don't see a particularly compelling investment case for most people here. Revenue growth remains lacking and any increase would be problematic as it would likely reduce gross profit, which could leave you sitting on a limited customer base. It seems the company is focused on keeping profits high, reducing the number of shares in issue and keeping operations stable in order to pay an acceptable dividend.
Overall, one could say that the shares are suitable for investors who are looking for dividends and expect a normal market yield without having major growth ambitions. Anyone looking for above-average growth is in the wrong place here. A perfect share for @Simpson and @GoDividend those looking to get rich slowly Community.

This means that the insiders of Old Republic International Corporation only hold a total of around 0.66% of the shares in the company. But this is hardly surprising for an older company. However, this means that nobody has "skin in the game".
Margins top of the notch
Compared to other insurance companies, Old Republic International Corporation (ORI) has an exceptional gross margin. At 62.95%, this is more than twice as high as the next best competitor and illustrates how efficiently the company is managed and how profitable its customer relationships are.
Sales development
Old Republic International Corporation's sales are currently stagnating at around USD 7 billion and are not showing any significant growth. Growth rates are even slightly negative. However, this is not necessarily an alarming sign if the company is simultaneously working more efficiently and retaining high-quality customers. As is usual with insurance companies, the net result also shows a certain stagnation. However, it should be borne in mind that the company would be extremely profitable in years with few claims.
Sales distribution and EBT influence
A look at the distribution of turnover shows that the majority of revenue comes from insurance income, which can be seen as positive. This means that Old Republic International (ORI) is less dependent on interest income or investment gains. A closer look at the sources of income makes it clear that investments are not ORI's core strength.
However, it is important to note that ORI's core business - insurance - is directly profitable. The largest share of EBT (earnings before taxes) also comes from the general insurance segment, which also accounts for the largest share of sales. This shows a solid business structure in which the core business generates profits independently and is not dependent on volatile investment profits.
FCF
Old Republic International's free cash flow (FCF) is positive, which is typical for an insurance company and indicates solid operating activities. However, the cash flow from financing activities is negative every year. This indicates that the company regularly returns capital to shareholders, be it through dividend payments, share buybacks or the repayment of debt.
A closer look shows that the negative cash flow from financing activities is mainly due to share buybacks and dividend payments. This is not necessarily negative, as such measures are aimed at returning value directly to shareholders. This aspect can therefore be considered largely unproblematic.
This strategy indicates that ORI pursues a conservative financial policy and strives to continuously provide value to its shareholders, even if the company uses external sources of financing.

That's how I like it. Receive one dividend
and the next one from $ORI (-0,19 %) announces itself⏬
$ORI (-0,19 %) announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of 26.5 cents per share. This dividend will be paid on September 16, 2024 to shareholders of record on September 6, 2024. Subject to quarterly board approval, the full year cash dividend will be $1.06 per share, compared to 98 cents per share in 2023, an increase of 8.2%.
2024 marks the 43rd consecutive year that Old Republic has increased its regular cash dividend and the 83rd year of uninterrupted regular cash dividend payments.
Even with $ORI (-0,19 %) I couldn't resist the numbers. 😁
