Stewart Information (STC) to Expand Title Production Resources
Read MoreHide Full Article
Stewart Information Services Corporation (STC - Free Report) has acquired A.S.K. Services, Inc. The buyout will help strengthen and expand its title production resources for independent agency partners.
A.S.K. Services is a premier provider of search and support services to the title industry. Its operations are spread across five states and 312 counties. Addition of A.S.K. Services to Stewart Information Services portfolio will thus help the latter fulfill more title orders in leading markets.
This Zack Rank #1 (Strong Buy) title insurer looks to be the premier title services company and thus remains focused on growing the said business. Last September, the company acquired 57 title offices in the states of Arizona, Colorado and Nevada from ET Investments to boost its presence in western United States. In June 2020, it acquired United States Appraisals to scale up its existing business as well as provide cross-selling opportunities with adjacent services. The company thus has been growing inorganically.
Stewart Information Services operates in the housing market and has been benefiting from positive demographic tailwinds and attractive mortgage rates. Backed by a solid capital position, the company continues to pursue strategic acquisition that will help grow its Title insurance and real-estate closing process.
Shares of Stewart Information Services have gained 4.8% year to date underperforming the industry's increase of 6.6%. Solid Title insurance business and a sturdy financial position will help shares retain the momentum.
There have been a host of consolidations in the insurance space of late, given the significant capital available. Recently, Arthur J. Gallagher (AJG - Free Report) acquired R&R Benefits/Risk Management, LLC to boost capabilities across northern Indiana. Arch Capital Group (ACGL - Free Report) inked a deal with Westpac Group to buy Westpac Lenders Mortgage Insurance Limited (WLMI). Assurant (AIZ - Free Report) acquired TRYGLE Co. Ltd. to maximize the daily usage of mobile devices, electronics and home appliances.
If you’re looking for big gains, there couldn’t be a better time to get in on a young industry primed to skyrocket from $17.7 billion back in 2019 to an expected $73.6 billion by 2027.
After a clean sweep of 6 election referendums in 5 states, pot is now legal in 36 states plus D.C. Federal legalization is expected soon and that could be a still greater bonanza for investors. Even before the latest wave of legalization, Zacks Investment Research has recommended pot stocks that have shot up as high as +285.9%
