Assured Guaranty (AGO) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Assured Guaranty (AGO) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Assured Guaranty Ltd. has demonstrated a strong financial performance in recent quarters, with a 12% growth in book value per share (BVPS) in the fourth quarter of 2023, and an expected normalization of annual BVPS growth to around 10%. The company is poised to benefit from increasing investment income due to rising interest rates, which will enhance its capacity to sustain normal dividends. Additionally, the growth potential in structured finance, supported by global infrastructure investments and rising public finance issuance, positions Assured Guaranty favorably for continued expansion in its market segments.
Bears say
Assured Guaranty Ltd. is facing a decline in earnings per share forecasted for 2024 and 2025, with estimates ranging from $6 to $7, significantly lower than the 2023 GAAP EPS of $12.40. The company's high exposure to credit risks related to insured municipal bonds, alongside potential downgrades from rating agencies and macroeconomic uncertainties, poses significant challenges to its financial stability. Additionally, the company's inability to generate sufficient new municipal bond insurance business, coupled with the disappointing asset management growth and constraints in deploying excess capital effectively, further exacerbates the negative outlook on its stock performance.
