Stewart Expands Commercial Energy & Infrastructure With Tower Title Acquisition
STC sits 20% above its 52-week low of $57.105.
Summary
Stewart is acquiring Tower Title, a commercial title agency focused on energy and infrastructure, and a leading national provider of telecommunications-focused title services. This expands Stewart's footprint in a specialized, high-value segment. The deal follows a string of recent acquisitions—Rattikin Title in July and ProTitleUSA/DocSolutionUSA just yesterday—showing an aggressive consolidation strategy. No financial terms were disclosed, but the strategic fit is clear: energy and infrastructure deals are larger and less cyclical than residential title work. Watch for integration costs and whether this accelerates revenue growth beyond the 25% year-over-year pace reported in Q2.
