Over on CAPS, fully 382 of the 410 members who have rated Loews -- some 93% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include highlanderfm and All-Star TMFDeej, who is ranked in the top 1% of our community.

Two weeks ago, highlanderfm highlighted a recent piece in Barron's that suggested Loews was super-cheap: "[S]um of the parts discount is now super compelling -- [Barron's] had a recent highlight for more detail, but the discount is close to $15. … Tisch's are great managers."

In a pitch from late last month, TMFDeej breaks down the bargain opportunity in more detail. Here's an excerpt, but be sure to check out the entire pitch here:

I've always believed that the company is like a mini-Berkshire Hathaway.... While the Tisch family is certainly not Warren Buffett, Loews trades at a substantial enough discount to Berkshire to make up for a lot of the difference....

[Loews] is trading at a significant discount to the current value of its holdings, even if you hate [its investment in CNA Financial], which traditionally has been the worst of breed in terms of insurance companies, and mark Loews' investment in it down to zero, [Loews] is still trading at over five dollars less than the current value of its parts. That's a heck of a deal.

Add to this the fact that the company actually pays a dividend, its yield of slightly over 1% isn't great … but it's something, and a compelling case can be made for the stock at this level.

A mini-Berkshire trading at a substantial discount? Yup, I'd say that easily qualifies as an intriguing opportunity.

All told, the stock currently sits at a price-to-book of 0.76 (well below its five-year average of 1.3). That alone would have most bargain-seekers salivating, but when you throw in the Tisch family's track-record of value-creation, and the possibility that their key holdings are depressed, Loews looks like one "jockey stock" with highly favorable odds.
