Stewart Information Reports Q3 2026 Revenue Rise but Profit Dip
Stewart posted $900.7M in Q3 revenue, up from $796.9M a year ago, but net income fell to $30.3M from $44.3M.
Stewart Information Services reported third-quarter 2026 total revenues of $900.7 million, a notable increase from $796.9 million recorded in the same period a year earlier, the company announced.

On an adjusted basis, net income was $41.2 million, compared with $46.7 million a year ago, reflecting margin pressure even as sales volumes expanded.
