LOEWS CORPORATION REPORTS NET INCOME OF $306 MILLION FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2026

Higher revenue did not offset weaker insurance earnings, while hotel results improved and Loews continued repurchasing shares.

Sentiment and the balance of points

Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.

Loews Corporation (NYSE: L) reported third-quarter 2026 net income of $306 million, down from the same quarter a year earlier. Earnings per share fell to $1.50 from $2.43, while revenue rose to $4,759 million from $4,671 million. CNA's net income attributable to Loews fell to $180 million from $371 million, including a $125 million unfavorable long-term care reserve impact after tax and noncontrolling interest. Loews expects higher investment yields to almost entirely offset that charge over time.

Boardwalk's net income fell to $85 million from $94 million; Hotels earned $16 million versus a $3 million loss. Nine-month net income fell to $1,087 million from $1,265 million. September 30 book value per share was $90.24, versus $90.71 at year-end. Parent cash and investments totaled $4.4 billion against $1.8 billion of debt. Loews repurchased $167 million of shares in the quarter and another $67 million through October 30.

How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Key Terms

aoci, core income, combined ratio, underlying loss ratio, +2 more
6 terms
aoci financial
"Book value per share, excluding AOCI, increased to $100.67"
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) is a section of owners’ equity that records certain unrealized gains and losses that aren’t shown in the company’s regular profit and loss statement—things like currency translation shifts, changes in the value of certain investments, or pension plan adjustments. Think of it as a separate holding jar for value swings the company hasn’t cashed in yet; investors watch it because large or volatile balances can change reported net worth and signal future earnings or balance-sheet risk when those items are realized.
core income financial
"Core income decreased to $203 million compared to $409 million"
Core income is a company's regular, recurring profit generated by its main business activities after stripping out one-time items, unusual gains or losses, and accounting quirks. Investors use it to judge the business’s sustainable earning power—like measuring a household’s steady paycheck rather than occasional bonuses—so it gives a clearer view of ongoing performance and helps compare companies over time.
combined ratio financial
"Property and Casualty's combined ratio increased by 4.2 points"
The combined ratio is a way insurance companies measure how well they are doing by adding up all their costs and claims and comparing them to the money they earn from premiums. If the ratio is below 100%, it means the company is making a profit; if it's above 100%, they are losing money. It helps see if an insurance company is financially healthy or not.
underlying loss ratio financial
"Property and Casualty's underlying loss ratio of 64.1%"
Underlying loss ratio measures the core insurance losses for a period as a share of the premiums earned during that same period, while excluding one-off events like major disasters, large prior-year adjustments, or other unusual items. For investors it reveals the steady, day-to-day profitability of an insurer’s underwriting—like checking a car’s fuel efficiency after removing the effect of a single long trip—to see if the business is sustainably earning more in premiums than it pays out in claims.
ebitda financial
"EBITDA decreased to $262 million compared to $267 million"
EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. It measures a company's profitability by focusing on the money it makes from its core operations, ignoring expenses like taxes and accounting adjustments. Investors use EBITDA to compare how well different companies are performing financially, as it provides a clearer picture of operational success without the influence of financial structure or accounting choices.
View in glossary
non-gaap financial
"These non-GAAP measures are defined and reconciled"
Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Loews Corporation (NYSE: L) today released its third quarter 2026 financial results.

Third Quarter 2026 highlights: 
Loews Corporation reported net income of $306 million, or $1.50 per share, in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $504 million, or $2.43 per share, in the third quarter of 2025. The following are key highlights of our third quarter results:

  • CNA Financial Corporation's (NYSE: CNA) net income attributable to Loews Corporation decreased year-over-year primarily due to an unfavorable impact of $125 million (after-tax and noncontrolling interest) in 2026 from its annual long-term care reserve assumption updates, as well as lower Property and Casualty underlying underwriting results and higher catastrophe losses. The unfavorable long-term care reserve charge will almost entirely be offset by higher investment yields from recent investment portfolio actions. This anticipated benefit will flow through investment income over time.
  • Boardwalk Pipelines' net income decreased year-over-year primarily due to higher operating expenses, including $14 million (after-tax) of charges related to net unrealized losses at Continuum and an impairment charge associated with the relocation of Boardwalk's corporate office. Excluding those items, results improved year-over-year, benefiting from higher gas transportation revenues.
  • Loews Hotels' net income increased year-over-year primarily due to a higher overall average daily rate and an increase in occupied room nights across most of the portfolio, partially offset by lower equity income from joint ventures.
  • Corporate segment net income decreased year-over-year primarily due to lower investment income from the parent company trading portfolio.
  • Book value per share decreased to $90.24 as of September 30, 2026, from $90.71 as of December 31, 2025.
  • Book value per share, excluding AOCI, increased to $100.67 as of September 30, 2026, from $95.89 as of December 31, 2025.
  • On September 30, 2026, the parent company had $4.4 billion of cash and investments and $1.8 billion of debt.
  • Loews Corporation repurchased 1.6 million shares of its common stock during the third quarter of 2026 for a total cost of $167 million.

CNA:

  • Net income attributable to Loews Corporation is $180 million compared to $371 million.
  • Core income decreased to $203 million compared to $409 million primarily driven by an increase in long-term care reserves in 2026 resulting from the annual reserve review, lower Property and Casualty underlying underwriting results and higher catastrophe losses.
  • The unfavorable impact of $125 million (after-tax and noncontrolling interest) due to CNA's long-term care reserve charge will almost entirely be offset by higher investment yields from recent investment portfolio actions. This anticipated benefit will flow through investment income over time.
  • Net earned premiums grew by 2% and net written premiums grew by 3% for CNA's Property and Casualty business.
  • Property and Casualty's combined ratio increased by 4.2 points to 97.0% compared to 92.8% largely due to a higher underlying loss ratio and higher catastrophe losses. Property and Casualty's underlying combined ratio increased to 94.2% from 91.3%.
  • Property and Casualty's underlying loss ratio of 64.1% was consistent with the second quarter of 2026, but increased by 2.2 points compared to the prior year third quarter, mainly driven by higher loss cost trends and lower-than-expected rate in certain lines in recent quarters.
  • Net investment income was relatively flat as lower limited partnership returns were partially offset by higher income from fixed income securities, as a result of a larger invested asset base and favorable reinvestment rates, and higher common stock returns.

Boardwalk:

  • Net income is $85 million compared to $94 million.
  • EBITDA decreased to $262 million compared to $267 million.
  • Net income and EBITDA declined primarily due to $10 million ($7 million after tax) of net unrealized losses at Continuum and a $9 million ($7 million after tax) impairment charge related to the relocation of Boardwalk's corporate office.
  • Excluding these two items, net income and EBITDA increased by $5 million and $14 million, driven by higher revenues from gas transportation due to higher contracting rates and utilization.

Loews Hotels:

  • Net income increased to $16 million compared to a net loss of $3 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 25% to $86 million compared to $69 million.
  • Net income and adjusted EBITDA improved primarily due to higher overall average daily rates and an increase in occupied room nights across most of the portfolio, particularly at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel following the conclusion of its renovation at the end of 2025, as well as the Loews Hotels & Co Arlington hotel properties.
  • Equity income from joint ventures decreased primarily due to lower average daily rate and higher operating expenses at the Universal Orlando Resort.

Corporate:

  • Net income is $25 million compared to $42 million.
  • Net income decreased primarily due to lower investment income from the parent company trading portfolio.

Nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to 2025

Loews Corporation reported net income of $1,087 million, or $5.29 per share, compared to $1,265 million, or $6.03 per share, in 2025. The following are key highlights:

  • CNA's net income attributable to Loews Corporation decreased primarily due to an unfavorable impact of $125 million (after-tax and noncontrolling interest) in 2026 from its annual long-term care reserve assumption updates and lower Property and Casualty underwriting results, partially offset by higher net investment income.
  • Property and Casualty's combined ratio increased by 3.5 points to 98.6% compared to 95.1% largely due to a higher underlying loss ratio and unfavorable net prior year loss reserve development. Property and Casualty's underlying combined ratio was 94.4% compared to 91.7%.
  • Property and Casualty's underlying loss ratio increased by 2.5 points, mainly driven by higher loss cost trends and lower-than-expected rate in certain lines in recent quarters.
  • CNA's net investment income increased due to higher income from fixed income securities, as a result of a larger invested asset base and favorable reinvestment rates, as well as higher common stock returns, partially offset by lower limited partnership returns.
  • Boardwalk's net income improved primarily due to an increase in gas transportation revenues from higher contracting rates and higher utilization-based and growth project revenues, as well as higher storage and parking and lending revenues, partially offset by higher operating expenses, including costs associated with growth projects.
  • Loews Hotels' net income improved primarily due to a higher overall average daily rate and an increase in occupied room nights across most of the portfolio and higher equity income from joint ventures, driven by the Universal Orlando Resort, partially offset by higher operating expenses.
  • Corporate segment results declined year-over-year primarily driven by lower investment income from the parent company trading portfolio and higher interest expense related to a recent debt refinancing.

Share Purchases:

  • On September 30, 2026, there were 202.9 million shares of Loews common stock outstanding.
  • During the three months ended September 30, 2026, Loews Corporation repurchased 1.6 million shares of its common stock for a total cost of $167 million.
  • An additional 0.6 million shares were repurchased for $67 million between October 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026.
  • Depending on market conditions, Loews may from time to time purchase shares of its and its subsidiaries' outstanding common stock in the open market (including, with respect to Loews common stock, in open market transactions that may or may not satisfy all of the conditions of the Rule 10b-18 voluntary safe harbor), in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.

Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures

This news release contains financial measures that are not in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Management believes some investors may find these measures useful to evaluate our and our subsidiaries' financial performance. CNA utilizes core income, underlying loss ratio and underlying combined ratio. Boardwalk utilizes earnings before interest, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), and Loews Hotels utilizes Adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP measures are defined and reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measures on pages 6 through 8 of this release.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures:

CNA Financial Corporation

Core income is calculated by excluding from CNA's net income attributable to Loews Corporation the after-tax effects of investment gains or losses and gains or losses resulting from pension settlement transactions. In addition, core income excludes the effects of noncontrolling interests. The calculation of core income excludes investment gains or losses because they are generally driven by economic factors that are not necessarily reflective of CNA's primary insurance operations. The calculation of core income excludes gains or losses resulting from pension settlement transactions as they result from decisions regarding CNA's defined benefit pension plans which are unrelated to its primary insurance operations.

The following table presents a reconciliation of CNA net income attributable to Loews Corporation to core income:

In evaluating the results of Property & Casualty operations, CNA utilizes the loss ratio, the underlying loss ratio, the expense ratio, the dividend ratio, the combined ratio and the underlying combined ratio. These ratios are calculated using GAAP financial results. The loss ratio is the percentage of net incurred claim and claim adjustment expenses to net earned premiums. The underlying loss ratio excludes the impact of catastrophe-related reinstatement premiums, catastrophe losses and development-related items from the loss ratio. Development-related items represent net prior year loss reserve and premium development, and includes the effects of interest accretion and change in allowance for uncollectible reinsurance. The expense ratio is the percentage of insurance underwriting and acquisition expenses, including the amortization of deferred acquisition costs, to net earned premiums. The dividend ratio is the ratio of policyholders' dividends incurred to net earned premiums. The combined ratio is the sum of the loss ratio, the expense ratio and the dividend ratio. The underlying combined ratio is the sum of the underlying loss ratio, the expense ratio and the dividend ratio. The underlying loss ratio and the underlying combined ratio are deemed to be non-GAAP financial measures, and management believes some investors may find these ratios useful to evaluate CNA's underwriting performance since they remove the impact of catastrophes which are unpredictable as to timing and amount, and development-related items as they are not indicative of current year underwriting performance.
