The company posted adjusted earnings of $0.76 per share on revenue of $2.33 billion, falling short of analyst projections of $0.78 per share and $2.38 billion in revenue. The shortfall was attributed to weaker performance in specialty insurance, despite stronger results in title insurance and increased investment income. Title insurance saw a revenue increase of 11%, and operating income more than doubled during the quarter. Meanwhile, net investment income rose over 6%, benefiting from higher bond yields. The company’s consolidated pre-tax operating income decreased by 11.2% to $238 million, with net operating income also falling to $186 million from $209 million. Additionally, the consolidated combined ratio worsened to 95.3% from 93.6%, indicating increased pressure in underwriting. Management expressed optimism that ECM would contribute to earnings and book value in the latter half of 2026.
