LoanCare’s CoreSync launch puts Fidelity National Financial (FNF) digital mortgage servicing in focus
Fidelity National Financial (FNF) is in the spotlight after subsidiary LoanCare rolled out CoreSync, a private label mortgage servicing platform designed to plug directly into banks, credit unions, and IMBs' existing digital channels.
The CoreSync announcement lands at a time when momentum in Fidelity National Financial’s stock has softened, with the 1-month share price return down 6.29% and the year-to-date share price return down 12.68%. The 3-year total shareholder return stands at 55.81%.

Another View: What Do The P/E Signals Say?
