Mark Seaton, chief executive officer at First American Financial Corporation stated that "Our commercial performance was particularly strong, with revenue up 35 percent, driven by continued momentum across most asset classes. These results reflect both market tailwinds and our continued focus on operating leverage." "Looking ahead to 2026, we expect an improving real estate market to support a record year in our commercial business, moderate growth in purchase, and a meaningful pickup in refinance activity. At the same time, execution of our strategic technology initiatives - particularly those leveraging AI - are progressing as planned. We remain optimistic that the combination of our proprietary data and technology capabilities are building durable competitive differentiation that will drive long-term value creation."
