### Tape & Earnings Read For the third quarter of 2026, Everest Group reported basic EPS of US$6.12 compared to US$6.09 in the third quarter of 2025, while after-tax operating EPS reached US$7.62. Revenue declined 14.4% year-over-year, and net income dropped to US$230 million from US$252 million, an 8.7% decrease. Underwriting profitability faced headwinds as the combined ratio widened to 107.1% from 103.4% a year earlier, driven by a higher loss ratio and weaker underwriting results. Offsetting some of these pressures, net investment income rose to a record US$634 million, and share count reductions of roughly 13% since early 2025 provided structural support for per-share metrics.

insurance underwriting and investment income
An insurance company's stock went up even though its core insurance business made less money than expected. Investors were happy because its investments made a record amount of cash and the company bought back its own stock.
What changed
Everest Group reported third-quarter results showing a higher combined ratio and lower revenue, yet its stock rose due to record investment income and share count reductions.
Who wins / who loses
Alternative asset managers and investors benefit from strong investment returns, while traditional property and casualty insurers facing high loss ratios are squeezed.
Time horizon
Think in terms of the next few weeks.
