Stewart Information Services stock reports 24.5 percent revenue growth

Stewart Information Services stock (ISIN US8552351079) combines Q2 revenue growth with an earnings shortfall, while the company continues to raise shareholder distributions. Revenue reached USD 895.80 million in the quarter reported on July 22, 2026, up 24.5 percent year over year, according to MarketBeat.

Revenue beat meets an EPS miss

The revenue result exceeded the USD 838.07 million analyst estimate, producing a 24.5 percent year over year increase. Adjusted EPS was USD 1.39, however, below the USD 1.63 consensus estimate, a USD 0.24 shortfall, according to Yahoo Finance on September 19, 2026.

The contrast matters for the title insurer because higher revenue did not translate into consensus-level adjusted earnings. MarketBeat reported a 4.12 percent net margin and 10.02 percent return on equity for the same period, adding a profitability counterweight to the top-line expansion.

Dividend rises to USD 2.20

Stewart announced on August 31, 2026 that its annual cash dividend would rise from USD 2.10 to USD 2.20 per share. The third-quarter payment is USD 0.55 per share and is payable September 30, 2026 to shareholders of record on September 15, 2026, according to the company release.

The dividend decision gives the stock a concrete capital-return feature even as quarterly earnings trail estimates. Stewart's investor-relations materials describe the business as a global title insurance and real estate services provider serving residential, commercial and mortgage transactions.

Stock trades near its yearly low

Stewart Information Services was last quoted at USD 56.80 on the NYSE on September 29, 2026 at 3:59 p.m. ET. Market capitalization stood at USD 1.7 billion, while the same-day market report identified a new 52-week low and cited an average analyst target of USD 81.50.
