Fair value estimate
How the range is computed
Financials model (residual income). Same residual-income model as the base: cost of equity 9.5% ±1 point and return on equity 16.2% ±2 points. Bear = 10.5% and 14.2%; bull = 8.5% and 18.2%. A model estimate from public filings, not a forecast of where the price will go.
Price sits inside the range.
What the price implies To be worth today’s price, ORI would need a return on equity of about 16% a year; our estimate uses 16%.
Risk vs market
How risk vs market is measured
One year of daily returns (Oct 30 to Oct 30, 252 sessions). Beta = how much ORI moved for each 1% move in the S&P 500 (SPY); 1.0 moves with the market. Volatility is the yearly standard deviation of daily returns. Past behavior, not a forecast.
Has moved mostly independently of the market, but its own price swings are 1.8× the S&P 500’s (it moves on its own news).

Trailing 12 months to Sep 30, 2026; balance sheet at Sep 30, 2026. From Old Republic International’s SEC filings. Sparklines show up to six fiscal years. n/a means we don’t hold that number, with the reason. How each is computed.
Valuation details
DCF $39.70 · MV $38.71
Financials model (residual income): book value $25.76 a share on Sep 30, 2026, plus the earnings above a 9.5% cost of equity. ROE 16.2%, the average of 17.7% for the trailing 12 months to Sep 30, 2026 and 14.7% over fiscal 2021–2025, on average common equity; payout 100% of earnings (dividends 83% + net buybacks 31%; capped at 100%), so book grows by the retained rest; the return above 9.5% fades halfway toward 9.5% over 10 years, then grows at 3% (terminal value). From the 10-Q filed Oct 30, 2026.
