Distribution ahead of Investor Day plan
Q&A largely reaffirmed prepared remarks on normalized 2025 EPS of $3.95 and 2026 guidance of $4.20-$4.50, but spotlighted distribution initiatives ahead of Investor Day plan, boosting educator households via homeschoolers and alumni. Auto risks in force turn positive H2 2026 despite competition. Early retirement offering drew solid uptake from 8% eligible staff, freeing savings for expense ratio cuts and growth hires. Benefit ratios in supplemental/group normalize to 39% blended amid sales surge. Distribution efforts are ahead of schedule. Management directly addressed cat assumptions and reinsurance flat spend; investors will eye sales durability.
