On CAPS, 96.5% of the 171 members who have rated Meadowbrook believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include All-Star 5SsmallcapDIV and BuffettJunior1.

Earlier this year, 5SsmallcapDIV brought three of Meadowbrook's positives to our community's attention: "5 STAR, Small-cap, dividend payer."

Currently, Meadowbrook even sports a cheapish forward P/E of 8.6. That represents a discount to listed rivals American Financial (9.8), Travelers (9.6), and W.R. Berkley (12.3).

CAPS member BuffettJunior1 elaborates on the bull case:

The fundamentals are excellent. The companies Revenue, Net Income, Operating Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow have all grown at steady rate over the last decade.

The company has a small, manageable amount of debt.

Net margin and ROE have both improved substantially over the last decade.

The company also pays a small dividend, which it can easily sustain and even increase. ...

This company is worth at least twice whats its trading at, and even then it would be cheap.

This is not a very well known company, which is probably the reason its so undervalued. The patient value investor can really profit from this company as it keeps growing and gains more attention.
