Investments Debt Equity Securities [Abstract]  
3. Investments Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities as borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. We deposit bonds with insurance regulatory authorities to meet statutory requirements. The adjusted cost of bonds on deposit with insurance regulatory authorities was $ 30.9 million and $ 30.8 million as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, respectively. Available-for-Sale Investments Available-for-sale investments as of December 31, 2019 were as follows:     Amortized Cost   Gross Unrealized Gains   Gross Unrealized Losses More than 12 Months   Gross Unrealized Losses Less than 12 Months   Estimated Market Value     (Unaudited)     (In thousands) U.S. treasury securities and government obligations $ 112,784 $ 9,370 $ (3) $ – $ 122,151 U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities   39,146   887   (2)   –   40,031 Obligations of states and political subdivisions   292,619   23,669   (134)   (45)   316,109 Corporate securities   1,699,751   102,544   (1,133)   (528)   1,800,634 Mortgage-backed securities   153,880   7,602   (1)   (2)   161,479 Redeemable preferred stocks   1,493   82   –   –   1,575   $ 2,299,673 $ 144,154 $ (1,273) $ (575) $ 2,441,979   9   Available-for-sale investments as of March 31, 2019 were as follows:     Amortized Cost   Gross Unrealized Gains   Gross Unrealized Losses More than 12 Months   Gross Unrealized Losses Less than 12 Months   Estimated Market Value           (In thousands) U.S. treasury securities and government obligations $ 136,010 $ 2,409 $ (2,104) $ (447) $ 135,868 U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities   31,101   433   (146)   (19)   31,369 Obligations of states and political subdivisions   298,955   8,079   (233)   (905)   305,896 Corporate securities   1,613,199   14,777   (14,257)   (24,986)   1,588,733 Mortgage-backed securities   148,203   880   (285)   (903)   147,895 Redeemable preferred stocks   1,493   20   –   (45)   1,468   $ 2,228,961 $ 26,598 $ (17,025) $ (27,305) $ 2,211,229   The available-for-sale tables include gross unrealized losses that are not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position. We sold available-for-sale securities with a fair value of $ 187.9 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2020. The gross realized gains on these sales totaled $ 4.6 million. The gross realized losses on these sales totaled $ 0.2 million. The unrealized losses of more than twelve months in the available-for-sale tables are considered temporary declines. We track each investment with an unrealized loss and evaluate them on an individual basis for other-than-temporary impairments, including obtaining corroborating opinions from third party sources, performing trend analysis and reviewing management’s future plans. Certain of these investments may have declines determined by management to be other-than-temporary and we recognize these write-downs, if any, through earnings. There were no write-downs in the third quarter or first nine months of fiscal 2020 or 2019. The investment portfolio primarily consists of corporate securities and obligations of states and political subdivisions. We believe we monitor our investments as appropriate. Our methodology of assessing other-than-temporary impairments is based on security-specific analysis as of the balance sheet date and considers various factors, including the length of time to maturity, the extent to which the fair value has been less than the cost, the financial condition and the near-term prospects of the issuer, and whether the debtor is current on its contractually obligated interest and principal payments. Nothing has come to management’s attention that would lead to the belief that any issuer would not have the ability to meet the remaining contractual obligations of the security, including payment at maturity. We have the ability and intent not to sell our fixed maturity and common stock investments for a period of time sufficient to allow us to recover our costs. The portion of other-than-temporary impairment related to a credit loss is recognized in earnings. The significant inputs utilized in the evaluation of mortgage-backed securities credit losses include ratings, delinquency rates, and prepayment activity. The significant inputs utilized in the evaluation of asset backed securities credit losses include the time frame for principal recovery and the subordination and value of the underlying collateral. There were no credit losses recognized in earnings for which a portion of an other-than-temporary impairment was recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively. 10   The adjusted cost and estimated market value of available-for-sale investments by contractual maturity were as follows:     December 31, 2019   March 31, 2019     Amortized Cost   Estimated Market Value   Amortized Cost   Estimated Market Value     (Unaudited)         (In thousands) Due in one year or less $ 114,557 $ 115,001 $ 71,987 $ 71,954 Due after one year through five years   554,591   572,647   541,195   540,658 Due after five years through ten years   662,534   707,015   621,031   614,485 Due after ten years   812,618   884,262   845,052   834,769     2,144,300   2,278,925   2,079,265   2,061,866                   Mortgage-backed securities   153,880   161,479   148,203   147,895 Redeemable preferred stocks   1,493   1,575   1,493   1,468   $ 2,299,673 $ 2,441,979 $ 2,228,961 $ 2,211,229   As of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, our common stock and non-redeemable preferred stock that are included in Investments, fixed maturities and marketable equities on our balance sheet are stated in the table below.
