FBR Capital analyst Randy Binner raised his price target on Outperform-rated Maiden Holdings (NASDAQ: MHLD) to $16.00 (from $14.00)

Binner commented, "We recently hosted meetings with MHLD management and institutional investors and came away with positive business updates. Overall, we believe that the market continues to underappreciate the high-frequency/low-severity nature of MHLD’s business, relative to potentially more volatile Bermuda reinsurers, who are also seeing a more competitive pricing environment than MHLD. MHLD has underperformed commercial lines peers by 3% and reinsurers by 8% over the last year, putting shares at ~1.0x book value, under 7x 2015E EPS (where we have a high confidence level), and a 3.7% dividend yield, the highest in our P/C or life coverage.
We maintain our Outperform rating and increase our price target from $14 to $16, which is 1.15x 2015E BV of $13.80 and 9.1x 2015E EPS, multiples we think are easily achievable given our 14%-plus ROE outlook."
