Loews Corporation stock reports higher second-quarter earnings

Loews Corporation stock was last at USD 104.82 on the NYSE on September 25, 2026, down 0.24 percent from the prior close of USD 105.07. The immediate stock-specific signal came from MarketBeat, which reported a Weiss Ratings upgrade from Buy (B+) to Buy (A-) on September 25, 2026.

Weiss Ratings raises its grade

The rating change gives Loews a current external vote of confidence, but it does not include a new numerical price target. MarketBeat reported that the broader analyst view remained Buy in a September 2026 update, making the rating change the clearest recent catalyst for the shares.

Second-quarter earnings improve

Loews reported second-quarter 2026 net income of USD 444 million, or USD 2.16 per share, up from USD 391 million and USD 1.87 per share in the second quarter of 2025, according to Yahoo Finance. That represents a 13.55 percent increase in net income and a 15.51 percent increase in earnings per share, both on a comparable GAAP quarterly basis.

Revenue reached USD 4.73 billion in the quarter, compared with USD 4.56 billion a year earlier, a 3.73 percent increase, Stock Analysis reported. Book value per share also rose to USD 93.52 as of June 30, 2026, from USD 90.71 at the end of 2025, according to Yahoo Finance.

Insurance remains the anchor

Loews Corporation describes itself as a diversified holding company spanning insurance, energy, hospitality and packaging. Its principal subsidiaries include CNA Financial, Boardwalk Pipelines, Loews Hotels and Altium Packaging, giving the earnings profile exposure to several operating businesses rather than one industry.

Stock remains below its yearly high

At USD 104.82 on September 25, 2026, the stock stood 13.38 percent below its 52-week high of USD 121.01 and 7.64 percent above its 52-week low of USD 97.38. The market capitalization was USD 21.6 billion, with trading volume of 780,092 shares for the session.
