The insurer reported a 20% operating return on equity and accelerated net written premium growth in the quarter.
The Hanover Insurance Group reported Q2 2026 operating earnings of $5.31 per diluted share, marking a record for the quarter. The company achieved an operating return on equity of approximately 20%, reflecting strong underwriting performance and growth.
Net written premium growth accelerated, though specific figures were not disclosed. The prior quarter saw lower earnings, with Q1 2026 results impacted by seasonal factors and market conditions. Comparable periods in 2025 showed modest growth but fell short of the current quarter’s performance.
Hanover also outlined a 6.9% catastrophe load for Q3 and confirmed CEO Roche’s transition in January 2027, though market reaction to the earnings report remains the primary focus.
