Stephens analyst Oscar Nieves upgraded First American (FAF) to Overweight from Equal Weight with a price target of $81, up from $71. Q4 results reinforce the view that the company is navigating a still-muted housing backdrop with improving profitability and “solid commercial execution,” the analyst tells investors. Title margins expanded meaningfully in 2025 despite existing home sales remaining well below normalized levels, reflecting both favorable mix and improved operating discipline, the analyst added.
