Trisura Group (TSX:TSU) Valuation Check After Renewed Share Buyback Plan

Trisura Group (TSX:TSU) just renewed its Normal Course Issuer Bid, giving itself room to buy back up to roughly 3% of its shares over the next year, a shareholder friendly capital decision.

See our latest analysis for Trisura Group.

The refreshed buyback comes after a steady, if unspectacular, stretch where Trisura’s share price has inched up year to date while the 1 year total shareholder return has stayed modestly negative, hinting that sentiment may be stabilising rather than surging.

If this kind of capital return story interests you, it could be worth seeing what else is out there by exploring fast growing stocks with high insider ownership.

With shares still below analyst targets but long term returns strong, are investors getting Trisura at a reasonable discount today, or is the market already baking in the next leg of earnings growth?

Most Popular Narrative: 26.8% Undervalued

Compared to Trisura Group’s last close at CA$39.75, the most followed narrative points to a meaningfully higher fair value based on medium term earnings power.

The rapid expansion and scaling of Trisura's U.S. specialty insurance and surety platforms are opening access to a much larger addressable market, supported by a recent $40 million capital injection that enables participation in larger bonding projects and greater premium growth. This is expected to drive substantial increases in revenue and, over time, enhanced net margins through operational leverage.

Result: Fair Value of $54.29 (UNDERVALUED)

However, that upside depends on careful execution. Missteps in US expansion or heavier catastrophe losses could easily pressure margins and stall the growth story.

Another Way to Look at Value

On earnings, Trisura actually screens as pricey, trading at about 15.3 times profit versus 13.2 times for the wider North American insurance group and 12 times for peers, and even above its 14.9 fair ratio, suggesting less margin of safety if growth ever disappoints.
