First American Financial Corp is a insurer, scored by a separate financial-sector model — not the operating Moat Score you’ll see on other companies. A bank or insurer is a balance-sheet business the margin-and-ROIC lens doesn’t fit, so it’s read through the components below instead. The two models are calibrated differently and are not comparable: a financial-sector score is never ranked against, sorted with, or averaged into an operating Moat Score. How the models work.
Insider activity
Form 4 reports mix P/S market or private transactions with compensation-plan mechanics. Activity casually described as “insider selling” can include compensation mechanics; awards, tax withholding, and option exercises are shown by their exact filed class here, never collapsed into “Bought” or “Sold.”
These are disclosed filing facts and arithmetic aggregates, not a signal or verdict.
This machine-readable surface covers SEC ownership filings from 2003; it does not represent earlier paper-era records.
Records still being gathered — partial as of retrieval Sep 18, 2026.
Trailing-12-month totals and the 90-day cluster result are withheld because this issuer walk is incomplete.
No reported Form 4 rows were captured for FAF; the incomplete walk cannot establish zero activity, zero counts, or a negative cluster result.
A filing source-event date will appear when a Form 4 row is captured.

Not scored for this company
Canonical split-adjusted share history is incomplete; no book-value trend claim is made.
Net interest economics apply to banks and lenders; not part of the carrier model.
Loss ratios are not an underwriting-discipline signal for this carrier type (life, regulated-MLR health, title/surety, or unclassified); component not applied.
Scored 3 of 4 applicable components (carrier model); weights renormalized over the scored set.
Fundamentals
The 15-year revenue, margin, and ROIC series is built for the operating model’s lens and isn’t published for banks and insurers — a balance-sheet business is read through the components above, not through operating-company margins.
