Description: STC Stewart Information November 13, 2025
Stewart Information Services Corp. (STC) is a Houston-based provider of title insurance and ancillary real-estate transaction services across the U.S. and select international markets. Its core activities include title searches, examinations, closings, and insurance coverage for residential and commercial properties.
Beyond traditional title work, Stewart offers a suite of complementary products such as home and personal insurance, tax-deferred exchange facilitation, appraisal management, online notarization, and a digital customer-engagement platform that streamlines the closing process for lenders, agents, and builders.
The company reaches its customers through a hybrid model of direct operations, a network of independent agencies, and strategic partnerships with mortgage lenders, real-estate attorneys, and home-builder groups, giving it a broad footprint in the U.S. title-insurance market.
Key metrics: Stewart generated approximately $2.6 billion in revenue in 2023 with an operating margin near 14%; its market share in U.S. title insurance hovers around 9%, making it the third-largest player. The business is highly sensitive to mortgage-rate cycles and housing-starts data, as higher rates typically depress transaction volumes, while digital adoption trends are driving efficiency gains.
