Summary
Travelers reported second-quarter 2026 net income of $2.208 billion, or $10.26 per diluted share, up from $1.509 billion a year earlier, and core income of $2.160 billion, or $10.04 per diluted share, which it attributed to lower catastrophe losses, higher net favorable prior-year reserve development, higher net investment income and a higher underlying underwriting gain. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Alan Schnitzer said underwriting performance was strong across all three segments and that the company remains confident in its outlook.
