On CAPS, 95% of the 151 members who have rated PartnerRe believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include baselineace and All-Star mrindependent, who is ranked in the top 1% of our community.

Two weeks ago, baselineace enthusiastically informed Fools that PartnerRe "is temporarily oversold, yet bares a minute 3.3 P/E, 1.1 P/B, and 30% operating margin!" Our CAPS member concludes: "Those kind of numbers make this a strong pick over the next three months."

Just last week, mrindependent reassured investors that the stock was indeed a solid buy:

The balance sheet is excellent. Estimated earnings per share for 2009 is $13.11, which is up sharply from 2008 eps of $0.22. Expected eps for 2010 is $9.77, which yields an expected 2010 p/e multiple of 7.7. Despite the favorable environment for this reinsurer, the stock is trading below historical value. Current p/bv: 0.79. Five year median p/bv: 1.0. The stock seems timely based on its Caps rating of 4 and Stockscouter rating of 7.
