RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION. A press release issued by Stewart Information Services Corporation on October 21, 2026, regarding financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2026, is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated herein by reference. This information is not deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is not incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Why it matters: Q3 domestic commercial orders rose 18%, but the average fee per file fell 8%. Another fee drop could offset higher order counts.
Worry ifQ4 average domestic commercial fee per file falls below $16,300, the Q3 level.
Less concerning ifQ4 average fee per file is at least $16,300 while closed orders stay above the prior year's level.
Why it matters: Title revenue grew 5% in Q3, but adjusted title income fell 15%. A lower margin would show that costs still weigh on growth.
Worry ifQ4 adjusted title pretax margin falls below Q3's 7.4%.
Less concerning ifQ4 adjusted title pretax margin reaches or exceeds 7.4%.
Why it matters: Stewart raised its annual dividend from $2.10 to $2.20. A further increase would extend its recent record of capital returns.
Supportive ifStewart announces an annual dividend above $2.20 per share.
Worry ifStewart keeps the annual dividend at $2.20 or cuts it.
