A key catalyst for the shares of Genworth Financial Inc (NYSE:GNW) is the timing of any resumption of capital return. Genworth has not commenced capital management through share buybacks or common stock dividend payments since the onset of the financial crisis.
Richmond, Virginia-based Genworth offers services such as life insurance, long term care insurance, and mortgage insurance. Any resumption of one or both of these capital management strategies would be a clear positive catalyst for the stock, which gained 77 percent in the last year, and 19 percent in the last month.
Moreover, the company is positioned to consider a modest resumption of capital return in 2014, with more aggressive actions in 2015, and significant above-peer growth in 2015 driven by improvements in U.S. Mortgage Insurance and Long-Term Care.
