Loews earnings fall as CNA reserve charge overshadows hotel gains

In line — No published EPS consensus; Q3 EPS $1.50 vs $2.43 prior year

Loews earnings fell on a $125 million CNA long-term-care charge and weaker underwriting, while hotels improved and Boardwalk’s backlog expanded.

Loews is a diversified holding company whose current story is increasingly a tug-of-war between CNA’s insurance-cycle pressure and growth investments at Boardwalk and Loews Hotels; its operating subsidiaries are CNA Financial, Boardwalk Pipelines, Loews Hotels and Altium Packaging. The prior-quarter setup already featured a CNA reserve charge, a growing Boardwalk investment backlog and stronger hotel performance, so this quarter extends an existing pattern rather than rewriting the company’s direction.

The headline earnings decline is real, but there is no reliable published consensus to call it a clean beat or miss. Loews posted $1.50 of EPS versus $2.43 a year ago, with net income down to $306 million from $504 million. The main hit was CNA’s $125 million after-tax long-term-care reserve charge, compounded by weaker property-and-casualty underwriting.

	Q3 2026	Q3 2025
Net income attributable to Loews (Financial Highlights)	$306M (-39.3%)	$504M
EPS (Income Statement)	$1.50 (-38.3%)	$2.43
CNA contribution (Segment results)	$180M (-51.5%)	$371M
CNA core income (Core income reconciliation)	$203M (-50.4%)	$409M
P&C combined ratio (CNA underwriting)	97.0% (+4.2 pts)	92.8%
Boardwalk EBITDA (EBITDA reconciliation)	$262M (-1.9%)	$267M
Hotels adjusted EBITDA (Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation)	$86M (+24.6%)	$69M

CNA remains the central problem, even if management argues the reserve hit is economically temporary. The long-term-care charge reflects higher expected claim inflation and unfavorable morbidity, while the P&C underlying loss ratio rose to 64.1% from 61.9% and the combined ratio reached 97.0%. Management expects higher investment yields from more than $1.3 billion of portfolio extension trades to offset most of the reserve charge over time, but that benefit is future income—not a reversal of the current earnings hit. 〔0〕

The non-insurance businesses are still advancing, but not enough to erase CNA’s deterioration. Boardwalk’s reported EBITDA slipped because of a $10 million Continuum loss and a $9 million office impairment, while underlying transportation rates and utilization improved; its backlog grew by nearly $600 million, including the $90 million Carthage Crossing project. Hotels were the clear operating bright spot, with adjusted EBITDA up 25% to $86 million as Miami recovered from renovation disruption and Arlington benefited from stronger demand.

Capital allocation softened the blow but does not change the operating read. Loews received $194 million from subsidiaries during the quarter, repurchased 1.6 million shares for $167 million and ended with $4.4 billion in cash and investments. That supports financial flexibility, while book value excluding accumulated other comprehensive income rose to $100.67 per share from $95.89 at year-end; however, reported book value per share slipped to $90.24 from $90.71 because of higher unrealized fixed-income losses.

Bottom line: This was a mixed quarter leaning negative: hotels and Boardwalk’s project pipeline are working, but CNA’s reserve charge and deteriorating P&C margins keep the core earnings engine under pressure. With no dependable published consensus, the fairest scorecard is in line with a worsening year-over-year operating picture—not a clean earnings beat or a story reset.

The Andersons — a record Renewables quarter that beat profit expectations

Filed Aug 3, 2026ANDE · NASDAQ

AllSight readBeatPriced in▲ 1.8% since filed · reaction agrees

adj. EPS $2.15 vs ~$1.48 consensus

This filing tests whether The Andersons' sharp profit increase reflects broad operating improvement or a one-off renewable-fuels boost. It also separates strong adjusted earnings and cash generation from the quarter's legal and impairment charges.

The quarter was substantially stronger than both last year and the published earnings expectation. Adjusted EPS reached $2.15, versus $0.24 a year earlier and above the published consensus of about $1.48; reported EPS was $1.65. Adjusted EBITDA more than doubled to $140 million, while sales slipped modestly — the improvement came from margins and operating performance rather than higher revenue.

Renewables drove nearly all of the upside — the operating backdrop was strong, but the result also benefited materially from tax credits. Renewables' adjusted pretax income rose to $88 million on record production, stronger ethanol margins and merchandising gains. It also received $24 million of 45Z producer tax credits, so this was not solely a repeatable plant-margin improvement; the company did cite healthy export and domestic ethanol demand as supportive. Renewables — Record Q2 · Segment Data

Agribusiness improved, but it was a supporting contributor rather than the main earnings engine. Adjusted pretax income increased to $20 million as fertilizer margins improved and merchandising benefited from commodity-price volatility, despite lower fertilizer volumes. Agribusiness — Improved Q2 · Segment Data

Cash generation improved and funding capacity is comfortable, while reported earnings still absorbed meaningful non-core costs. Operating cash flow was $488 million ($113 million before working-capital changes); capital spending was $76 million. Adjusted EPS excludes $0.50 of legal-settlement, impairment and transaction items, so the $2.15 adjusted result runs ahead of the $1.65 reported. Leverage stays below the <2.5× debt-to-EBITDA target; no new quantified full-year outlook was given. Cash & Liquidity · Adjusted Net Income
