A Look At Fidelity National Financial’s Valuation As Insider Selling And FinCEN Dispute Weigh On Sentiment

Insider selling and regulatory fight move into focus

Fidelity National Financial (FNF) is back in the spotlight after director Halim Dhanidina sold 6,000 shares on January 5, 2026. At the same time, the company continues contesting FinCEN’s proposed anti money laundering rule for cash home sales.

Those insider sales and the FinCEN dispute come as the stock trades at US$55.81, with a 1 day share price return of a 1.38% decline, a 1 year total shareholder return of 7.01%, and a 5 year total shareholder return of 84.90%. This indicates that long term momentum has been stronger than the recent pullback.

If this kind of regulatory and insider action has you rethinking your watchlist, it could be a good moment to broaden your search with fast growing stocks with high insider ownership.

With FNF trading at US$55.81, below both some analyst targets and one intrinsic value estimate, the real question is whether this gap reflects mispricing or if the market is already factoring in future growth.
