FAF Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
First American Financial Corp demonstrates a strong positive outlook due to a 14% increase in commercial open orders, indicating robust momentum across various key industries. The company's title margin estimates have shown improvement, increasing to 11.5%, 11.7%, and 12.4%, up from previous estimates, which reflects a solid performance in their title insurance segment. Additionally, the significant anticipated growth in commercial fees, projected to rise by 25% in 2025 after a 16% increase in 2024, further underscores the financial strength and potential of the company, especially with the prospect of lower interest rates potentially boosting mortgage volumes.
Bears say
First American Financial Corp's projected residential volumes for 2025 through 2027 have experienced a slight decline, with year-over-year expectations now reflecting a modest +9%, +6%, and +5% growth, signaling a potential slowdown in overall market activity. Additionally, the CFO indicated a forecast for declining net investment income in the fourth quarter and into 2026, which could negatively impact the company’s financial health. Furthermore, a 6% drop in October open purchase orders, driven by reduced demand for new and resale homes, underscores the ongoing challenges faced by the company in a recovering residential mortgage market that is expected to remain weak through 2027.
