Radian Group Inc Dossier
Qualitative Analysis
Business overview
Radian Group Inc. (NYSE: RDN) is a leading provider of private mortgage insurance and related risk management services across the U.S. residential housing market. Historically focused on private mortgage insurance (PMI) on residential first-lien mortgage loans, Radian has undergone a major strategic transformation. On February 2, 2026, the company completed the acquisition of London-based Lloyd's specialty insurer Inigo Limited for $1.67 billion in an all-cash transaction. This acquisition expands Radian's footprint from a pure-play U.S. mortgage insurer into a global, diversified multi-line specialty insurer and reinsurer. Concurrently, Radian has executed a plan to divest its non-core Mortgage Conduit, Title, and Real Estate Services businesses, which is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2026.
