The PMI Group Inc. (PMI), through its subsidiaries, provides residential mortgage insurance products that offer loss protection to mortgage lenders and investors in the event of borrower default in the United States. The Company offers mortgage insurance products to meet the capital and credit risk mitigation needs of its customers. Its products include primary mortgage insurance through primary flow channel that provide the insured with first-loss mortgage default protection on individual loans at specified coverage percentages; and mortgage insurance to credit unions through its 50% joint venture with CUNA Mutual Investment.

In the report, the analyst notes:

"For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company recorded consolidated net losses of $93.2 million or $1.13 a share compared to consolidated net losses of $229.4 million or $2.81 a share for the corresponding period in 2008. The decrease in the consolidated net losses in the quarter compared to the corresponding period in 2008 was primarily due to lower levels of losses and loss adjustment expenses in PMI's U.S.

"The Company's 'Economic and Real Estate Trends' quarterly report projects the likelihood that the nation's housing prices will be lower in two years. As many as 324 -- approximately 85% -- of the nation's 381 MSAs (Metropolitan Statistical Areas) are now facing increased risk of lower home prices in 2011. Florida, California, Nevada and Arizona continue to have the highest risk scores -- 36 of the most risky MSAs are located in these four states -- but an increased risk of lower future prices is now spreading across all regions of the nation, due to the significant increases in unemployment and foreclosure rates."
