Last earnings call, Jul 22, 2026 AI summary

What they said
Stewart Information Services (STC) reported strong Q2 2026 results with revenue growth exceeding 24% and 13% earnings growth, tempered by ~$8M in strategic hiring investments. Year-to-date revenues grew 26% and adjusted pre-tax income rose 45% despite multi-decade housing market lows. Domestic commercial premiums grew 20% YoY in Q2 and 30% YTD, driven by energy, data centers, multifamily, and industrial sectors.
Guidance
Management revised existing home sales growth expectations down to ~2% from initial 6-8% forecast, with sales remaining in the low 4 million unit range. Despite $8M in Q2 investment spend, management expects earnings growth to outpace revenue growth in H2 2026 and for the full year, with new hires contributing within 2-4 quarters.
