  • 1
    The Basics
    U.S. financial services company · small-cap · listed on Nasdaq · headquartered in California.
  • 2

Biggest Revenue Drivers

Other revenues$0.2M+25% YoY

Loan review services provided by NMIS subsidiary.

Largest Expense Items

AI Insight: NMIH Financial Trends

Revenue grew 13% from Q2 2024 to Q1 2026, but net income remains flat and operating cash flow is volatile.

Revenue accelerated from $162M (Q2 2024) to $183M (Q1 2026), a 13% gain over eight quarters.

Equity expanded 29% from $2,046M to $2,632M, reflecting retained earnings and balance-sheet strengthening.

Net income oscillated between $86M and $103M with no clear uptrend; Q1 2026 at $99M near eight-quarter average.

Operating cash flow declined sharply in Q4 2025 to $62M, the lowest since Q4 2024, signaling potential working-capital headwinds.

Net income margin compressed: Q1 2025 delivered 60% margin; Q1 2026 only 54%, despite revenue growth.

AI Insight: NMIH Ratio Trends

Profitability metrics hit two-year lows in Q4 2025, with slight stabilization in Q1 2026 but no reversal of the downtrend.

Operating margin compressed from 73.2% (Q2 2024) to 68.1% (Q1 2026), a 510bp decline over nine quarters.

ROIC fell from 23.2% (Q2 2024) to 19.0% (Q1 2026), signaling a 420bp deterioration in capital efficiency.

Q1 2026 shows modest recovery in OpMargin (68.1% vs 67.0% in Q4 2025) and ROIC (19.0% vs 18.7%), but remains well below 2024 levels.

Sustained compression across all profitability metrics since Q2 2024 suggests structural headwinds rather than cyclical weakness.

Monitor Q2 2026 for confirmation of Q1 stabilization or resumption of margin erosion.
