Wall Street expects a year-over-year increase in earnings on lower revenues when Everest Group (EG - Free Report) reports results for the quarter ended September 2026. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.
The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on October 28. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.
While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.
Zacks Consensus EstimateThis reinsurance company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $9.32 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +23.6%.
Revenues are expected to be $3.84 billion, down 11.1% from the year-ago quarter.
Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.62% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.
Investors should keep in mind that an aggregate change may not always reflect the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts.
Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction).
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.
A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.
Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).
How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Everest Group?For Everest Group, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +3.01%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.
So, this combination indicates that Everest Group will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate.
Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Everest Group would post earnings of $14.59 per share when it actually produced earnings of $14.85, delivering a surprise of +1.78%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates two times.
Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.
That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
Everest Group appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.
Expected Results of an Industry PlayerAmong the stocks in the Zacks Insurance - Multi line industry, Slide Insurance Holdings, Inc. (SLDE - Free Report) , is soon expected to post earnings of $0.65 per share for the quarter ended September 2026. This estimate indicates a year-over-year change of -17.7%. This quarter's revenue is expected to be $398.08 million, up 49.8% from the year-ago quarter.
The consensus EPS estimate for Slide Insurance Holdings, Inc. has been revised 0.9% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. However, an equal Most Accurate Estimate has resulted in an Earnings ESP of 0.00%.
This Earnings ESP, combined with its Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Slide Insurance Holdings, Inc. will beat the consensus EPS estimate. The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters.

Have you been searching for a stock that might be well-positioned to maintain its earnings-beat streak in its upcoming report? It is worth considering Everest Group (EG - Free Report) , which belongs to the Zacks Insurance - Multi line industry.
When looking at the last two reports, this reinsurance company has recorded a strong streak of surpassing earnings estimates. The company has topped estimates by 8.20%, on average, in the last two quarters.
For the most recent quarter, Everest Group was expected to post earnings of $14.59 per share, but it reported $14.85 per share instead, representing a surprise of 1.78%. For the previous quarter, the consensus estimate was $14.03 per share, while it actually produced $16.08 per share, a surprise of 14.61%.
Price and EPS Surprise
Thanks in part to this history, there has been a favorable change in earnings estimates for Everest Group lately. In fact, the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) for the stock is positive, which is a great indicator of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with its solid Zacks Rank.
Our research shows that stocks with the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time. In other words, if you have 10 stocks with this combination, the number of stocks that beat the consensus estimate could be as high as seven.
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a version of the Zacks Consensus whose definition is related to change. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Everest Group has an Earnings ESP of +3.01% at the moment, suggesting that analysts have grown bullish on its near-term earnings potential. When you combine this positive Earnings ESP with the stock's Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), it shows that another beat is possibly around the corner. The company's next earnings report is expected to be released on October 28, 2026.
Investors should note, however, that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss, but a negative value does reduce the predictive power of this metric.
Many companies end up beating the consensus EPS estimate, though this is not the only reason why their shares gain. Additionally, some stocks may remain stable even if they end up missing the consensus estimate.
Because of this, it's really important to check a company's Earnings ESP ahead of its quarterly release to increase the odds of success. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

HAMILTON, Bermuda--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Everest Group, Ltd. (“Everest”) (NYSE: EG) a global underwriting leader providing best-in-class property, casualty, and specialty reinsurance and insurance solutions, today announced that it has published its Global Loss Triangles for the year ended December 31, 2025. These documents are available on the Company's investor relations website, under Financials/Annual Disclosures. The link can be found here: https://investors.everestglobal.com/financials/annual-.
Key Takeaways Everest generated $317 million of underwriting income despite a 7.1% decline in gross written premiums. The Reinsurance Treaty posted an 88.5% combined ratio as Everest cut premiums and casualty exposure. Portfolio optimization is shifting capacity toward higher-return specialty and international opportunities. Everest Group, Ltd. (EG - Free Report) appears capable of sustaining underwriting profitability despite slower premium growth, supported by disciplined portfolio management, selective risk-taking and an improving business mix. In the second quarter of 2026, Everest’s core businesses generated $317 million of underwriting income and a 90% combined ratio, even as gross written premiums declined 7.1% year over year. This performance suggests management is willing to sacrifice volume when pricing or terms do not meet required return thresholds.
Underwriting discipline remains the key support. In Treaty Reinsurance, Everest reduced premiums by 9.1%, including a 19% reduction in casualty, while maintaining an 88.5% combined ratio. The decline in premiums alongside strong underwriting margins indicates that Everest is prioritizing risk-adjusted profitability over top-line growth. Management has been selectively reducing or exiting business that does not meet return requirements while reallocating capacity toward specialty areas such as data centers, construction and renewable energy, where risk-adjusted returns remain more attractive.
Everest’s margin strength is therefore shifting from favorable pricing toward underwriting discipline, portfolio optimization and business-mix improvement. Sustained underwriting profitability despite lower premiums would indicate that portfolio restructuring is producing a more profitable and capital-efficient book of business. If management continues to reduce underpriced casualty and property exposures and redeploy capacity toward higher-return specialty and international opportunities, improving underwriting margins could partially offset slower premium growth.
Overall, Everest’s strategy is increasingly focused on risk-adjusted profitability rather than premium growth. The principal risks include further deterioration in reinsurance pricing, elevated catastrophe losses and adverse casualty reserve development.
What About Its Peers?Chubb Limited’s (CB - Free Report) profitable underwriting directly increases its earnings. Chubb Limited benefits from both underwriting income and investment income. Consistent underwriting profits increase the amount of capital Chubb Limited can retain within the business. This supports balance-sheet strength, business expansion and investments in technology, data and AI.
RLI Corp.’s (RLI - Free Report) decentralized underwriting model supports strong underwriting profitability by giving individual business units significant autonomy to assess risks, price policies and select accounts based on specialized expertise. Underwriting profit is a core earnings driver and competitive advantage for RLI because it allows the company to generate profits directly from its insurance operations, rather than relying primarily on investment income.

But investors have to be wondering, will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Everest Group due for a pullback? Well, first let's take a quick look at the most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the recent drivers for Everest Group, Ltd. before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late.
Everest Group Q2 Earnings Beat Estimates on Lower Expenses
Everest Group reported second-quarter 2026 operating earnings of $14.85 per share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.8%. The bottom line declined 14.5% year over year. Strong underwriting income from its core businesses supported the earnings beat.
Operating revenues of $3.96 billion decreased 11.8% year over year and missed the consensus estimate by 3.1%.
EG's Q2 Operating Update
Gross written premiums declined 19.4% year over year to $3.77 billion. Our estimate was $3.8 billion. The decrease reflected the continued runoff of the Legacy business and targeted reductions in selected Reinsurance Treaty lines. Net premiums earned fell 12.6% to $3.49 billion, reflecting lower business volumes. Our estimate was $3.6 billion.
Total claims and expenses fell 10.8% year over year to $3.28 billion. Our estimate was $3.4 billion. Incurred losses and loss-adjustment expenses declined 12.2%, while commission, brokerage, taxes and fees decreased 7.5%. Other underwriting expenses fell 11.4%.
Everest's Core Underwriting Results
Core gross written premiums decreased 5.9% year over year to $3.68 billion. On a comparable basis, excluding foreign-exchange movements and catastrophe reinstatement premiums, the decline was 7.1%. Growth in specialty lines was offset by lower property premiums and targeted reductions in U.S. casualty business.
Core underwriting income totaled $317 million and declined 29.2% year over year. The combined ratio deteriorated 300 basis points to 90%, reflecting higher catastrophe losses and underwriting expenses. The attritional combined ratio, which excludes catastrophes and prior-year reserve development, increased 170 basis points to 87.3%.
EG's Reinsurance Treaty Performance
Reinsurance Treaty gross written premiums declined 7.8% year over year to $2.72 billion. Our estimate was $2.6 billion. On a comparable basis, premiums fell 9.1%, led by reductions in Casualty XOL, Casualty Pro-Rata and property excess-of-loss business. Growth in Property Pro-Rata partly offset the decline.
The segment generated underwriting income of $283 million, which declined 31.5% year over year. Our estimate was $271.21 million. Its combined ratio increased 360 basis points to 88.5%, while the attritional combined ratio rose 220 basis points to 85.4%. Excluding elevated non-catastrophe weather losses, the attritional combined ratio would have been 82.7%.
Everest's Specialty Business Trends
Global Wholesale & Specialty gross written premiums were nearly unchanged at $958 million. Our estimate was $911.3 million. On a comparable basis, premiums declined 1%. Lower Workers’ Compensation and Specialty Casualty premiums were largely offset by growth in Other Specialty, Professional Liability and Accident and Health.
The segment recorded underwriting income of $34 million, which declined 2.9% year over year. Our estimate was $41.3 million. The combined ratio remained unchanged at 95.2%, while the attritional combined ratio improved 110 basis points to 93.8%. The attritional loss ratio improved 390 basis points, benefiting from changes in portfolio mix and underwriting actions.
EG's Investment and Expense Picture
Net investment income declined 1.7% year over year to $523 million because of lower alternative investment returns. Our estimate was $561.5 million. The annualized return on invested assets was 4.5% compared with 4.8% in the prior-year quarter.
Total investments and cash totaled $44.86 billion as of June 30, 2026, up 1.3% year over year. The fixed-maturity portfolio’s book yield was 4.5%. New money yields continued to exceed the portfolio yield, supporting future investment income generation.
Everest's Financial Position and Capital Return
Everest reported net income of $559 million, or $14.22 per share, compared with $680 million, or $16.10 per share, a year earlier. Annualized net operating return on equity was 14.9%, which contracted 470 basis points year over year, while annualized total shareholder return was 16.8%, which expanded 200 basis points year over year.
The company repurchased $395 million of shares during the quarter and paid $78 million in dividends. Book value per share increased to $398.83, up 5% from 2025-end. Cash flow from operations was $291 million, which declined 73% from the year-ago quarter.
How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?It turns out, fresh estimates have trended downward during the past month.
The consensus estimate has shifted -6.9% due to these changes.
VGM ScoresAt this time, Everest Group has a poor Growth Score of F, however its Momentum Score is doing a bit better with a D. However, the stock has a score of A on the value side, putting it in the top 20% for value investors.
Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of D. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.
OutlookEstimates have been broadly trending downward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions indicates a downward shift. Interestingly, Everest Group has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months.
Key Takeaways Everest's Reinsurance Treaty business posted an 88.5% combined ratio in Q2 2026. Global Wholesale & Specialty delivered double-digit international growth across several specialty lines.

(EG - Free Report) have risen 5.2% in the past three months, underperforming the industry’s growth of 9.9%.
EG's shares have lagged the industry primarily due to a second-quarter earnings miss, declining premium volumes, reduced casualty business, softer property-catastrophe pricing and lower investment income, which have weighed on investor sentiment.

EG’s Return on Invested CapitalThe return on invested capital in the trailing 12 months was 8.9 %, better than the industry average of 2.2%, reflecting the company’s efficiency in utilizing funds to generate income.
What Drives EG?Reinsurance Treaty remains a key contributor to Everest Group’s underwriting profitability, supported by disciplined underwriting, favorable reserve development and strong risk selection. In the second quarter of 2026, the business delivered an 88.5% combined ratio, highlighting effective portfolio management. Meanwhile, the Global Wholesale & Specialty business continues to gain traction, supported by portfolio optimization, improved underwriting and growth in higher-margin specialty lines. The segment recorded double-digit international growth across financial lines, marine, political violence and select specialty property markets, thereby supporting diversification and profitable growth.
Although property-catastrophe pricing has moderated, EG continues to enhance portfolio quality by reducing exposure to lower-return casualty and retail insurance businesses while expanding higher-margin specialty and short-tail lines. Property-catastrophe rates declined about 10% for Everest Group versus a 15-20% decline across the industry during midyear renewals, highlighting its relative pricing resilience. The company also maintains conservative reserve practices, with favorable property reserve development and no material adverse U.S. casualty reserve movements, reflecting disciplined risk management and supporting earnings quality.
Everest Group is actively scaling operations in markets such as Mexico, Colombia, Australia and Italy, targeting regions with strong insurance demand and underpenetrated segments. Mexico and Colombia offer growth opportunities, driven by rising insurance adoption and demand for customized solutions. Australia and Italy provide exposure to developed markets with an increasing need for specialty and non-life coverage.
Everest Group's third-party capital platform continues to expand, with Mount Logan Capital Management’s AUM reaching approximately $3.4 billion as of July 1, 2026, up 89% from the beginning of 2025. The launch of Annapurna Re provides another avenue to transfer risk, support growth and enhance capital flexibility. Management expects to receive approximately $200 million in premiums per quarter.
The company also maintains a strong cash position and continues to enhance shareholder returns through regular dividends and an aggressive share repurchase program. It repurchased $395 million of shares during the second quarter and paid $78 million in dividends. Management expects a minimum quarterly buyback pace of $300 million throughout 2026.
Risks for EG StockProperty catastrophe reinsurance pricing continues to soften, which may weigh on premium growth and margins despite favorable policy terms.
Everest Group faces foreign exchange risk as it operates in currencies such as the euro, pound and Canadian dollar while reporting in U.S. dollars.
Everest Group remains vulnerable to large catastrophe losses and geopolitical events. Large natural disasters or geopolitical events could increase claims and adversely impact underwriting profitability.
ConclusionEverest Group is poised for growth in underwriting discipline, international insurance expansion, a growing third-party capital platform and strong financial flexibility. The attractive valuation and higher returns are the other positives. However, foreign exchange volatility, geopolitical tensions and catastrophe losses continue to be concerns. It is wise to adopt a wait-and-see approach towards this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock presently. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Everest’s property catastrophe portfolio saw pricing decline by about 10% across those periods. He said terms and conditions have been largely maintained and attachment points have remained relatively stable.
During the question-and-answer session, Williamson said Everest moved its average attachment point slightly higher during midyear renewals and shifted capacity among programs based on risk-adjusted economics. He said the company did not move lower in reinsurance towers to obtain better pricing.
Habayeb said the Reinsurance Treaty segment’s attritional loss ratio rose 140 basis points to 57.1%, largely due to higher weather-related non-catastrophe losses. Excluding those losses, the ratio would have been 54.4%, representing a 130-basis-point year-over-year improvement driven by business mix and improved loss experience. He said investors should view the near-term attritional loss ratio for the treaty operation as being in the mid-50s.
Wholesale and Specialty Progress Global Wholesale & Specialty reported a 95.2% combined ratio, unchanged from the prior-year quarter. Its attritional loss ratio improved 390 basis points to 60.6%, which Habayeb attributed to underwriting actions and an improved mix of business.
Gross written premiums were roughly flat in the segment. Growth in niche specialty products and international markets was offset by intentional reductions in U.S. property and casualty business. Everest reported double-digit international growth across financial lines, marine, political violence and selected specialty property markets.
Rate across the segment was flat, as double-digit property rate declines were offset by rate increases in casualty. Catastrophe losses added 1.4 points to the combined ratio, while the prior-year quarter had minimal catastrophe losses. Habayeb said Everest continues to expect the segment to deliver combined ratios in the mid-to-high 90s in the near term.
Reserve Actions and Investment Income Everest reported no net prior-year reserve development in the quarter. Habayeb said favorable development in short-tail lines was offset by a higher industry loss estimate for the Baltimore Bridge collapse and strengthening in casualty reserves.
The company increased its reserve estimate for the Baltimore Bridge matter by about $55 million, bringing its estimate in line with an industry loss range of approximately $2.8 billion to $3 billion. Everest also strengthened North American casualty treaty reserves by just under $200 million. Habayeb said loss emergence was concentrated in older accident years, but the company reflected the experience across most accident years.
Management did not adjust 2026 casualty loss picks during the quarter. Habayeb said casualty loss trends have remained relatively stable since the prior reserve study, ranging from high single digits to low double digits depending on the line of business. Everest expects to complete annual reserve studies for most long-tail lines later in the third quarter and plans to publish enhanced global loss-triangle disclosures during the coming month.
Net investment income was $523 million, modestly below the prior-year period due to lower alternative investment returns. The investment portfolio’s book yield was 4.5%, compared with a current new-money yield closer to 5%, Habayeb said.
Third-Party Capital and Share Repurchases Everest said its Mt. Logan Capital Management platform had approximately $3.4 billion in assets under management as of July 1, up 89% from the beginning of 2025. The growth included the launch of Annapurna Re, a casualty and specialty reinsurance sidecar.
The company expects to cede roughly $200 million of premium per quarter to Annapurna Re over the next three years. Management said the sidecar should be modestly accretive to underwriting income and return on equity over time, while reducing net investment income. Williamson said the arrangement is structured as a quota share and is intended to align Everest’s experience with that of its third-party capital partners.
Capital returns remained a priority. Everest repurchased approximately 1.2 million shares during the second quarter for $395 million at an average price of $342 per share, alongside dividends, resulting in a quarterly payout ratio of 81%. Since Williamson became CEO in January 2025, the company has deployed $1.5 billion toward share repurchases and reduced shares outstanding by more than 10%.
Habayeb said Everest views $300 million of quarterly repurchases as a floor and expects to exceed that amount when appropriate. The company also has more than $1 billion of capital supporting its legacy business that is expected to be released over time as reserves run off. Everest’s commercial retail insurance transition to AIG remains on track, with roughly $250 million of net premiums left to be earned in the second half of 2026.

What's Next for Everest Group?While Everest Group has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Everest Group was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Key Takeaways EG is expected to post lower Q2 revenues and earnings amid weaker premium trends. Higher investment income and disciplined underwriting are likely to support results. Portfolio actions and catastrophe losses may pressure premiums and underwriting performance. Everest Group, Ltd. (EG - Free Report) is expected to register a decrease in both top and bottom lines when it reports second-quarter 2026 results on July 29, after the closing bell.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for EG’s second-quarter revenues is pegged at $4.09 billion, indicating a 9% decrease from the year-ago reported figure.
The consensus estimate for earnings is pegged at $14.59 per share. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for EG’s second-quarter earnings has decreased 0.7% over the past 30 days. The estimate suggests a year-over-year decrease of 16%.
What the Zacks Model Unveils for EGOur proven model predicts an earnings beat for Everest Group this time around. This is because the stock has the right combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold), which increases the chances of an earnings beat.
Earnings ESP: Everest Group has an Earnings ESP of +1.67%. This is because the Most Accurate Estimate of $14.83 is pegged higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $14.59. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Zacks Rank: EG carries a Zacks Rank #3 at present. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 (Strong Buy) Rank stocks here.
Factors Likely to Shape EG’s Q2 ResultsPremium growth is likely to have been pressured by the completed exit from the Commercial Retail Insurance business and the ongoing runoff of legacy casualty exposures. We expect net written premiums to have declined 18.1% year over year to $3.4 billion in the second quarter.
The Insurance segment is likely to have been impacted by portfolio actions in specialty casualty lines and the sale of renewal rights. However, higher premiums from other specialty and accident & health businesses are expected to have partly offset the decline. We estimate premiums earned of $760.9 million in the to-be-reported quarter.
The Reinsurance segment is expected to have been affected by lower premiums in North America casualty pro rata and casualty excess-of-loss businesses. However, growth in the property and financial lines books is likely to have partly offset the weakness. We expect second-quarter premiums earned to have declined 16.3% year over year to $2.2 billion.
Net investment income is likely to have benefited from an increase in fixed maturities, a rise in income from limited partnerships, and an increase in income from other alternative investments. We expect net investment income to have been $561.5 million. The Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at $533.6 million.
Disciplined underwriting is expected to have supported underwriting profitability as management continues to prioritize business that meets return thresholds. However, catastrophe losses and competitive market conditions are likely to have partially offset these benefits, leading to a higher combined ratio. We expect the combined ratio to be 93.4 in the to-be-reported quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the metric is pegged at 93.7
We estimate the underwriting income from the Reinsurance segment to be $271.1 million in the to-be-reported quarter.
Total claims & expenses are likely to have decreased largely owing to lower incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses, commission, brokerage, taxes and fees, and other underwriting expenses. We expect the metric to be $3.4 billion.
Share buybacks in the to-be-reported quarter are anticipated to have provided a boost to the bottom line.

Wall Street expects a year-over-year decline in earnings on lower revenues when Everest Group (EG - Free Report) reports results for the quarter ended June 2026. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.
The earnings report, which is expected to be released on July 29, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.
While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.
Zacks Consensus EstimateThis reinsurance company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $14.59 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -16%.
Revenues are expected to be $4.09 billion, down 9% from the year-ago quarter.
Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 1.14% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.
Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.
Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction).
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.
A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.
Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).
How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Everest Group?For Everest Group, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +1.67%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.
So, this combination indicates that Everest Group will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate.
Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Everest Group would post earnings of $14.03 per share when it actually produced earnings of $16.08, delivering a surprise of +14.61%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates two times.
Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.
That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
Everest Group appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.
Expected Results of an Industry PlayerAmong the stocks in the Zacks Insurance - Multi line industry, Slide Insurance Holdings, Inc. (SLDE - Free Report) , is soon expected to post earnings of $0.88 per share for the quarter ended June 2026. This estimate indicates a year-over-year change of +57.1%. This quarter's revenue is expected to be $370.8 million, up 41.7% from the year-ago quarter.
The consensus EPS estimate for Slide Insurance Holdings, Inc. has been revised 6.3% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. However, a higher Most Accurate Estimate has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +7.43%.
When combined with a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold), this Earnings ESP indicates that Slide Insurance Holdings, Inc. will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate. The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters.

What Drives EG?Reinsurance Treaty remains Everest Group's key growth engine, supported by disciplined underwriting, favorable reserve development and strong underwriting profitability. The Global Wholesale & Specialty business continues to gain traction, benefiting from portfolio optimization, improved underwriting and growth in higher-margin specialty lines. Although property catastrophe pricing has moderated, management remains disciplined, deploying capital only where risk-adjusted returns meet its profitability thresholds, supporting sustainable long-term earnings growth.
Everest Group continues to enhance portfolio quality by reducing exposure to lower-return casualty and retail insurance businesses while expanding higher-margin specialty and short-tail lines. The company also maintains conservative reserve practices, with favorable property reserve development and no material adverse U.S. casualty reserve movements, reflecting disciplined risk management and supporting earnings quality.

Everest Group is actively scaling operations in markets such as Mexico, Colombia, Australia, and Italy, targeting regions with strong insurance demand and underpenetrated segments. Mexico and Colombia offer growth opportunities, driven by rising insurance adoption and demand for customized solutions. Australia and Italy provide exposure to developed markets with an increasing need for specialty and non-life coverage.

Everest Group remains vulnerable to large catastrophe losses and geopolitical events. Large natural disasters or geopolitical events could increase claims and adversely impact underwriting profitability.
ConclusionEverest Group is poised for growth in underwriting discipline, international insurance expansion, a rise in investment income and financial flexibility. However, foreign exchange volatility, geopolitical tensions and catastrophe losses continue to be concerns.
Coupled with attractive valuation, optimistic analyst sentiment and higher returns, it is wise to retain this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock presently. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

NII increased 15.5% year over year for the three months ended March 31, 2026, largely driven by strong alternative asset returns, fixed income portfolio growth, and strong limited partnership returns.
EG's net investment income is primarily driven by the growth of its investment portfolio, higher reinvestment yields in a higher-rate environment, expanding insurance float, and disciplined portfolio management.
NII significantly boosts top-line growth and overall profitability for EG, complementing the company's underwriting operations. While insurance premiums are the primary source of revenue, NII provides a recurring stream of earnings generated from investing the company's insurance float and shareholders' capital.
What About Other Insurers?Chubb Limited's (CB - Free Report) net investment income is an important earnings contributor. The metric benefits from higher interest rates and stronger portfolio yields, providing a steady source of earnings beyond underwriting profits. This helps improve profitability, offset claim volatility and strengthen overall financial performance.
The Travelers Companies, Inc.’s (TRV - Free Report) net investment income is a material contributor to the company’s results of operations, consistently providing a reliable source of earnings that complements its underwriting activities. Net investment income acts as a second earnings engine for this property and casualty insurer after underwriting profit. Thus, even if underwriting profit weakens because of higher catastrophe losses, solid net investment income can help offset earnings pressure.
EG’s Price PerformanceShares of EG have gained 1.8% in the past year, outperforming the industry.

NEW YORK, May 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EXL [NASDAQ: EXLS], a global data and AI company, announced it has been named a Leader in the Everest Group Healthcare Payer Intelligent Operations PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2026.
The Everest Group report examined the healthcare payer back office operations capabilities of 33 leading providers. This year’s assessment represents a meaningful evolution from the previous installment of the report, which was conducted in 2023.
In 2026, Everest expanded its scope to “Intelligent Operations,” reflecting the industry’s shift toward next-generation, AI-enabled capabilities. In addition to traditional healthcare payer operations, the evaluation now assesses providers on their ability to embed intelligent technologies—analytics, automation, and AI—across core payer functions through the value chain.
The report cited EXL’s analytics, predictive modeling, and solution flexibility as company-wide strengths, specifically within its CareRadius™ platform, which combines utilization management, case management and population health workflows with analytics-driven automation. This momentum is reinforced by strong double-digit growth in EXL’s health and life sciences business, driven by its data and AI-led strategy and the continued expansion of AI capabilities. By embedding AI more deeply across workflows, EXL is helping payers improve decision-making, streamline operations and deliver more coordinated efficient member outcomes.
“The shift toward AI-led operations is accelerating as payers seek to enhance quality, payment accuracy, and member outcomes, while navigating challenges of fragmented data and legacy cores,” says Vivek Kumar, practice director, Everest Group. “EXL is advancing its data and AI-led strategy through a mix of functional BPaaS, analytics, and platforms. Its focused investments in multiple high-demand areas such as care management and payment integrity have supported its positioning as a Leader in Everest Group’s Healthcare Payer Intelligent Operations PEAK Matrix Assessment 2026.”
“Amid rising medical costs, regulatory changes and increased administrative complexity, data management, analytics and AI have become vital tools for health plans to improve operational efficiency, drive real-time decision-making and ensure better outcomes,” said Vivek Jetley, president and head of insurance, healthcare and life sciences at EXL. “At EXL, we are committed to empowering payers with end-to-end, fully integrated solutions that streamline workflows, reduce manual processes, and enhance accuracy. By leveraging advanced analytics and AI-driven insights, we enable health plans to optimize claims processing, improve member engagement, and ensure compliance with evolving regulations. These capabilities are critical for health plans to remain resilient, agile, and competitive in an increasingly complex and demanding healthcare landscape.”
Everest Group’s PEAK Matrix® is a proprietary framework that measures an organization’s impact created within the market and the ability to deliver solutions successfully. Market Impact is evaluated through market adoption, portfolio mix and value delivered. Vision and capability, the measurement for successful solution delivery, is assessed by evaluating each firm’s vision and strategy, scope of offered services, innovation and investments, and delivery footprint. The report uses this framework to classify service providers into Leaders, Major Contenders and Aspirants.
