Equitable Holdings (EQH) reported a significant financial turnaround in the third quarter of 2026, posting a net income of $1.1 billion compared to a substantial loss in the same period last year. The company's non-GAAP operating EPS rose 19% year-over-year to $2.13, fueled by strong momentum across its core retirement and wealth management segments. Key growth drivers included record advisory net inflows of $2.7 billion and a 4% increase in total assets under management (AUM) to $1.2 trillion. AllianceBernstein also showed strength with $6.6 billion in net inflows, largely driven by institutional mandates. Despite headwinds from higher interest rates affecting real estate returns, the company maintained its full-year EPS growth guidance of greater than 15% and identified $100 million in upcoming expense savings.
