Loews Corporation reported a net income of $337 million, or $1.63 per share, for the first quarter of 2026, a decrease from $370 million, or $1.74 per share, in the same period of 2025. The company's total revenues increased slightly to $4.555 billion from $4.494 billion year-over-year. The decline in net income was primarily attributed to lower underwriting results and unfavorable prior year loss reserve developments at its subsidiary, CNA Financial, which were partially offset by improved performance at Boardwalk Pipelines and Loews Hotels & Co.
CNA Financial's insurance premiums rose to $2.699 billion from $2.626 billion, while net investment income increased to $610 million from $604 million. However, the segment faced $2.175 billion in insurance claims and policyholders' benefits, up from $2.027 billion in the prior year, reflecting a significant increase in catastrophe losses, which amounted to $88 million in the current quarter. The company also recorded unfavorable net prior year loss reserve development of $100 million, compared to $61 million in the previous year.
In terms of operational metrics, Loews Hotels & Co reported a net income of $26 million, a notable increase from the previous year, driven by higher equity income from joint ventures, particularly from the Universal Orlando Resort. Boardwalk Pipelines also saw a rise in net income to $159 million from $152 million, attributed to higher transportation rates and increased utilization. The company is currently engaged in growth projects expected to enhance its capacity significantly, with an estimated cost of $3.2 billion scheduled for completion by 2030.
Loews Corporation's total assets decreased to $85.652 billion from $86.348 billion at the end of 2025, with total liabilities also declining to $66.061 billion from $66.707 billion. The company’s equity stood at $19.591 billion, down from $19.641 billion. The decrease in equity was influenced by a comprehensive loss of $251 million, primarily due to unrealized losses on investments. Looking ahead, Loews Corporation remains focused on strategic growth initiatives across its subsidiaries, with expectations of continued revenue generation from its diversified operations in insurance, natural gas transportation, and hospitality.
