  "account": "Frontdoor Inc., a provider of home warranty services, anticipates a return in member growth in 2026, following a hiatus since 2020. This growth is anticipated to be fueled by improved real estate activity, sustained direct-to-consumer expansion, and robust renewal rates. The company's non-warranty HVAC replacement business is projected to reach nearly $170 million this year, up significantly from $13 million five years ago. Moreover, Frontdoor's acquisition of 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty has surpassed its targeted cost synergies. CFO Jason Bailey noted that the company's long-term adjusted EBITDA margin target has been raised to the mid-20% range, buoyed by its growing renewal base, effective pricing strategies, contractor efficiency, and disciplined SG&A costs.",
