Reinsurance Group (RGA) Reports Strong Q3 2026 Earnings Driven by Pension Risk Transfers
Reinsurance Group (RGA) reported significant growth in its third quarter of 2026, with net income rising to $456 million ($6.92 per diluted share) compared to $3.81 per diluted share in the prior-year period. This surge was largely propelled by a 25% year-over-year increase in net premiums, totaling $5.35 billion, which included $800 million from single premium pension risk transfer transactions. The company also saw robust investment performance, with variable investment income returning 15% annualized due to real estate joint venture gains and alternative equity returns. Despite a decrease in excess capital following the retirement of $400 million in senior securities, RGA maintained strong shareholder returns through $75 million in share repurchases and $64 million in dividends.
