From the latest earnings call
- CEO Mark Seaton said commercial refinance premiums rose while residential purchase and refinance revenue declined, and he expects elevated mortgage rates to prolong the residential slowdown.
- CFO Matt Wajner expects essentially flat revenue in FY2027, with modest commercial growth offset by a decline in residential revenue and some growth in investment income.

First American Financial Corporation provides title insurance, real estate closing services and related financial services. Its title insurance protects property owners and mortgage lenders against certain defects in ownership records, such as competing ownership claims or liens. Policies typically also require the insurer to defend against covered claims. The company traces its heritage to 1889, is headquartered in Santa Ana, California, and is led by Chief Executive Officer Mark E. Seaton.
Before a policy is issued, a title search checks records and other documents for matters affecting a property. First American or an independent agent can perform the search, address identified problems and issue the policy. The company also handles closings and escrow services, which can include recording documents and arranging transfers of funds when a property changes hands.
