What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The consensus may underestimate FNF's ability to rebound from recent misses, as the company has been investing in technology and customer service improvements that could enhance profitability.

The options market is pricing in a larger move than historical averages, suggesting that traders expect a significant shift in sentiment.
