PFG posts 13% EPS growth, boosts dividend
Watch: Monitor next quarterly earnings for sustained EPS growth and any shifts in underwriting margins under current market conditions.
Principal Financial Group reported Q1 2026 adjusted non-GAAP EPS growth of 13% driven by favorable underwriting and improved mortality in benefits and protection. The firm returned $375 million to shareholders, including $200 million in share buybacks. It raised its dividend by 8%, marking the 12th consecutive increase, while non-GAAP operating ROE improved to 16.1%.
Steady EPS growth, shareholder returns, and a dividend hike signal underlying financial strength and confidence despite previous revenue declines and mixed analyst sentiment.
