Amerisafe (NASDAQ:AMSF) was upgraded by Zacks Investment Research from a “hold” rating to a “buy” rating in a research note issued to investors on Wednesday. The brokerage presently has a $71.00 price objective on the insurance provider’s stock. Zacks Investment Research‘s price target would indicate a potential upside of 16.43% from the company’s previous close.
According to Zacks, “Shares of Amerisafe’s have outperformed the industry’s growth in a year’s time. The company’s consistently increasing return on equity also reflect its efficiency in using shareholder’s funds. Its efficient claims management, good underwriting results, favorable loss and frequency trends, prudent reserve analytics and improved operating leverage bode well. Increasing revenues is another positive. However, a rise in expenses and product concentration are some negatives.”
