    I think the market got the jitters when AFG put out their quarterly Mortgage Index Report for Q1 on 6 Oct. If you go to Table 7, it shows that AFG's share of mortgage origination dropped from 10.39% of the market in Q4 of 2022 to 7.95% in Q1 2023. That is a drop of over 20%. I think that is what has caused the reluctance to push the share price higher. The origination fees and the trailing interest income are the 2 main sources of AFG's revenue, and I think the origination fee revenue might lag the writing of the loans.

    So I think the market is waiting to see if the percentage of origination can rebound and if fee revenue can be retained or drops significantly in Q2.

    Even if there is a short term drop in earnings, I think the longer term still looks positive.

    Cheers Westwind
