The company experienced a slight decline in premiums, which totaled $244.7 million for the second quarter, down from $245.3 million in the previous year. However, net investment income rose by 11% to $73.2 million, driven by higher yields and increased average invested assets.

The loss ratio for the quarter was 14%, up from 10% in the same quarter last year, reflecting an increase in losses incurred.
Operationally, Enact's new insurance written (NIW) for the second quarter of 2026 was $15.2 billion, a 15% increase compared to $13.3 billion in the same quarter of 2025.

In terms of strategic developments, Enact has continued to focus on its share repurchase program, having repurchased approximately 2.2 million shares at an average price of $42.58 per share during the second quarter. The company also announced an increase in its quarterly dividend from $0.21 to $0.24 per share, reflecting its commitment to returning capital to shareholders. Looking ahead, Enact anticipates continued challenges in the housing market due to macroeconomic factors, including inflation and elevated mortgage rates, but remains optimistic about its operational strategies and market positioning.
