In the middle of June, Radian Group — a company whose fortunes are bound to the rhythms of the American housing market — found itself the subject of renewed institutional conviction. BlackRock and Dimensional Fund Advisors quietly increased their stakes while analysts upgraded the stock, a convergence that speaks to a broader belief that the company's earnings trajectory justifies confidence despite the concentrated risks of mortgage insurance. It is a story as old as markets themselves: the tension between what the numbers promise and what the world might yet deliver.
