CNA Results Drag Loews’ Q1 Profit Lower

Investors sent the stock down about 4% after the report.

Overview

  • Loews reported Q1 2026 net income of $337 million, down from $370 million a year earlier, as revenue edged up to $4.56 billion.
  • The decline stemmed mainly from insurance unit CNA Financial, where weaker underwriting and unfavorable updates to prior-year reserves cut profits.
  • Boardwalk Pipelines posted higher earnings due to stronger contract rates, more utilization-based gas transport revenue, and better pricing in storage, parking, and lending services.
  • Loews Hotels increased profit on higher equity income from joint ventures, including properties tied to Universal Orlando Resort.
  • At the parent level, results weakened as trading portfolio income fell and interest costs rose, while cash and investments totaled $4.5 billion against $1.8 billion of debt alongside a $31 million buyback and a slight rise in book value per share.
