Title insurance commercial revenue is revenue generated from title, escrow, and related services on commercial real estate transactions.

FNF reported $440M of commercial revenue in the second quarter of 2026, up 32% year over year. First American reported $314.1M, up from $234.2M.

Commercial mix can move faster than transaction count

FNF said commercial orders opened increased 7% and commercial orders closed increased 11% year over year, while commercial revenue increased 32%.

First American showed an even clearer unit-revenue effect: commercial closed orders rose only modestly, while commercial average revenue per order increased to $19,980.

A commercial dollar is not just another closing

Commercial transactions can be larger and more complex than residential purchase or refinance work. A few high-fee deals can therefore change fee per file and segment revenue without a comparable change in total closed orders.

Investors should separate commercial volume from commercial unit revenue before concluding that title demand accelerated by the same percentage as reported commercial revenue.

Where this concept fits
  • Commercial mix and transaction valueCurrent relationship
    Commercial title revenue combines completed transaction volume with revenue per commercial closing, so commercial ARPO helps separate deal-value and mix effects from order-count growth.
    Commercial Revenue per OrderCommercial Title RevenueCurrent concept
  • Order pipeline, closings, and unit revenue
    Open orders show incoming transaction demand, closed orders show the files that progressed to completion, and fee per file converts completed direct order volume into unit revenue.

  • Distribution, claims, and segment profitability
    Direct and agency premiums use different operating and distribution models, agent compensation determines how much agency premium is retained, claim-loss provisioning absorbs title risk over long claim durations, and adjusted pretax margin shows the resulting segment profitability after issuer-defined adjustments.
