Summary
The Travelers Companies reported third-quarter 2026 net income of $1.917 billion, or $9.04 per diluted share, and core income of $1.947 billion, or $9.18 per diluted share, with a combined ratio of 86.8%, and said it returned $1.769 billion of capital to shareholders including $1.508 billion of share repurchases. Chairman and CEO Alan Schnitzer attributed the results to underwriting performance across all three segments and a record investment portfolio result, and said the company is positioned to finish the year strong.
Key points

- Net investment income was a record $1.098 billion pre-tax, up 6%, and the quarter included $234 million of net favorable prior year reserve development, including a $295 million addition to asbestos reserves.
- Catastrophe losses of $538 million pre-tax, mainly from severe wind and hail storms in multiple states, partly offset higher core income.
- Year-to-date net income was $5.836 billion, or $27.05 per diluted share, versus $3.792 billion a year earlier, and the year-to-date combined ratio improved 6.9 points to 86.3%.
