The industry has been facing its share of problems related to a sluggish economic recovery, uncertainty surrounding the health care reform law and increased regulatory control. Despite the odds, the industry remains profitable, with the top six players &#8212; UnitedHealth Group Inc. (UNH), CIGNA Corp. (CI), WellPoint Inc. (WLP), Aetna Inc. (AET), Humana Inc.

		<description><![CDATA[The Health and Medical Insurance industry is an integral part of the U.S. economy. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, U.S. health expenditures account for about 18% of U.S. GDP. Money spent per person on healthcare in the United States is more than in any other nation in the world, according to the World Health Organization. Despite rapidly growing spending on healthcare over the past few decades, health insurance industry has been characterized by growing premium, limited policy choice and lack of transparency. Over the past 10 years, health insurance premiums have persistently increased, outpacing the growth of wages and cost of living. The surge in premiums &#8212; due mostly to complex connections among health insurance companies, health care providers, pharmaceutical manufacturers and the medical technology industry ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Genworth Financial&#8217;s (GNW) second quarter operating loss wider than the Zacks Consensus Estimate loss. A substantially higher year-over-year loss at the U.S. Mortgage Insurance segment, partially offset by better results at Retirement &#38; Protection and at International, resulted in the company&#8217;s soft performance. We expect mortgage insurance business to remain pressured. Additionally, improvements in its other business lines are expected to be slow, given the economy&#8217;s sluggish recovery. Our six-month target price of $5.25 equates to 10.5x our earnings estimate for 2011, implies a negative return of about 9.8% over that period. This is consistent with our Underperform recommendation on the shares. Additionally, the quantitative Zacks Rank for Genworth is currently #5 (Strong Sell), indicating downward pressure on the shares over the near term. Short interest is currently 1.2 days. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are upgrading our recommendation on Genworth Financial Inc (GNW) to Neutral from Underperform to reflect the company’s continued focus on fueling growth and strong rating affirmation from credit rating agencies. To focus more on its Retirement and Protection segment, Genworth has agreed to sell its Medicare supplement business and related blocks of in-force business. The company has agreed to sell the Medicare business to Aetna Inc. (AET). The company also remains focused on fueling growth in its Wealth Management business through acquisitions. Genworth is acquiring Altegris, a specialist in alternative investments, to expand its offerings to financial advisers. Also, it is launching new services to continue to deliver solid growth.

(GNW) It affirmed the FSR of “A” and ICR of “a” of Genworth’s major life and health subsidiaries. The rating agency also affirmed the ICR of “bbb” of the company. All the above stated ratings carry a negative outlook. The rating agency eyes Genworth favorably, taking into account its strong business position in term life, long-term care, retirement and wealth management markets. The company is also favorably positioned with respect to liquidity and stable capital levels. The rating agency acknowledges the ability of the company to generate positive results despite high losses in the company’s U.S. mortgage insurance business owing to high claims and reserve strengthening.

		<description><![CDATA[Lincoln National Corporation’s (LNC) fourth quarter operating earnings per share of 82 cents came in way behind the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 88 cents and 90 cents recorded in the prior-year quarter. Results were primarily impacted by a charge of $41 million or 13 cents per share arising from litigation and settlement expenses. However, favorable investment income results and other items mitigated this decline by $9.0 million or 3 cents per share. Consequently, operating income decreased 10.4% year over year to $265.5 million. Conversely, net income available to common shareholders was $195.6 million or 60 cents per share compared with $84.1 million or 27 cents per share in the year-ago quarter. GAAP net income for the reported quarter also came in at $195.6 million, though up from $102.3 million in ]]></description>

Although the Dow recorded new highs, other benchmarks including S&#38;P 500 and the tech-laden Nasdaq fell slightly. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the day up 1.81 points at 12,041.97, a 30-month fresh high. The S&#38;P 500 lost 0.3% to close at 1,304.03 as 9 out of 10 stocks of the index fell. The Nasdaq fell 1.63 points to end the day at 2,749.56. On the New York Stock Exchange, volumes were on the lighter side with only 936 million shares being traded.

Reports of a New York appeals court ruling in favor of MBIA Inc. and upbeat earnings results also helped indices break out of the red zone. Indices gained modestly as bond insurer MBIA Inc. (NYSE:MBI) won a major battle against twenty of the world’s biggest financial institutions, including Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), Citibank (NYSE:C), Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS), HSBC (NYSE:HBC), and UBS (NYSE:UBS) among others. MBIA was battling this lawsuit over a restructuring plan. The company’s split in 2009 had been challenged through the lawsuit which claimed the split was fraudulent. The banks had argued that the split neglected policy holders’ interests and only favored holders of muni-insurance. MBIA shares jumped 10.3% and closed at ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Genworth Financial Inc. (GNW) reported first quarter 2010 earnings of 23 cents on April 29, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4 cents. Investors were clearly discouraged and the shares moved down following the earnings release. Wall Street had sufficient time to absorb the news, and analysts&#8217; responses have been mixed. Earnings Report Review Genworth’s miss was due to lower-than-expected results from its life insurance business and International segment. Though the U.S. Mortgage Insurance segment continued to experience losses in the quarter, results significantly improved from prior quarters, driven by an increase in loss mitigation benefits. Revenues increased 40% year over year to $2.42 billion. The company reported a drop in net investment losses to $42 million, down from $54 million in the prior quarter and $483 million in the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The turmoil in the financial markets created a highly challenging environment for the U.S. insurance industry, forcing many companies to take immense write-downs. In 2010, the overall situation has improved to a great extent and the worst of the crisis appears to be now behind us. However, the soft market conditions along with legislative changes remain a chief cause for concern for the overall industry at this point. Though there are signs of economic recovery, the trend of sluggish pace is expected to continue at least through the remainder of 2010. Also, structural economies of scale have pushed the industry toward consolidation. While enormous financial support from the government helped rescue AIG (AIG) from collapse, many other firms remained under tremendous pressure or have fallen by the wayside.

		<description><![CDATA[Genworth Financial Inc. (GNW) reported operating earnings per share of 23 cents available to the common stockholders. This compares unfavorably with the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 27 cents. However, the results were well ahead of the prior-year quarter earnings of 3 cents per share. The miss was due to lower-than-expected results at its life insurance business and International segment. Though its U.S. mortgage insurance segment continued to experience losses in the quarter, results significantly improved from the prior quarters driven by an increase in loss mitigation benefits. Genworth&#8217;s net income available to common shareholders was $178 million or 36 cents per share, compared with a loss of $469 million or $1.08 per share reported in the year-ago quarter.

		<description><![CDATA[Standard &#38; Poor&#8217;s Ratings Services downgraded credit ratings of five U.S. mortgage insurers on Tuesday as losses of these mortgage insurers were bigger than S&#38;P’s expectations. The rating agency also expects that unemployment will continue to rise through the second quarter of 2010 and this will further weigh on the mortgage insurers. Currently, the outlook for the mortgage insurers is negative. In October, S&#38;P put seven mortgage insurers on watch for downgrade with the expectation of worse claims. The five mortgage insurers, whose ratings were lowered on Tuesday, are Republic Mortgage Insurance Co., a unit of Old Republic International Corp (ORI), PMI Mortgage Insurance Co, a unit of PMI Group (PMI), Radian Mortgage Insurance Inc, a unit of Radian Group Inc (RDN), Genworth Mortgage Insurance Corp., a unit of Genworth ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MGIC Investment Corporation (MTG) is expected to release third quarter results on Oct 15. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company is a loss of $1.64 per share. The company’s financial results have been adversely impacted by increased delinquencies, which are occurring due to a weakened economy Incorporatedreased unemployment and lower home prices. I t is also expected that the amount of loans insured by MGIC during the quarter should be lower than the average book written over the past four years. As a result of its underwriting changes, the company will be insuring fewer loans with loan-to-value ratios greater than 95% as well as loans classified as A-minus and reduced documentation loans, which carry higher premium rates. We expect that it will adversely affect the company’s results in the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[GM Gets Its Fix General Motors (NYSE: GM) and Chrysler were relieved to find out that even though most Americans are opposed to helping them, and Congress isn’t far behind, they still have a friend in the Oval Office. The two companies will get a Christmas present of $13.4 billion. But aside from asking for funds, GM and Chrysler seem to have no idea of what to do. They’ve resorted to hanging around the federal reserves for handouts. Apparently their “Enabler-in-Chief” still wants to keep them hooked on poor performance and poor innovation. Although, in a surprising example of governmental restraint, GM and Chrysler have until March 31 to show they are viable. It’s like mom and dad requiring that they get jobs or be kicked out of the house. ]]></description>
