Stewart price target raised to $57 from $52 at Stephens

Stephens analyst John Campbell raised the firm’s price target on Stewart to $57 from $52 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. While the U.S. housing and CRE markets in Q3 were challenging, the company’s Q3 results topped consensus expectations, the analyst tells investors. Two key positives from the print: commercial activity was far better than anticipated; and the company’s decision to shift its adjusted EPS metric could help lift the stock, Stephens adds.
