Three dated company milestones

On July 29, 2026, Markets Insider reported second-quarter revenue of CAD 12.72 billion and net profit of CAD 1.09 billion, compared with CAD 10.39 billion and CAD 927.00 million a year earlier. The figures imply revenue growth of 22.43 percent and net profit growth of 17.48 percent on a year-over-year basis.

On October 8, 2026, Beinsure reported that Fitch maintained the A+ Long-Term Issuer Default Rating and AA financial strength ratings for operating subsidiaries. Fitch also cited a 16.40 percent base-earnings return on equity for the first half of 2026, up from 15.70 percent for fiscal year 2025.

What does the rating mean?

The rating assessment gives the balance sheet a measurable role in the investment case. Fitch reported a 128.00 percent Life Insurance Capital Adequacy Test ratio at Canada Life and a financial leverage ratio of 16.90 percent in the second quarter of 2026, down from 17.10 percent at fiscal year-end 2025.

The counterweight is risk sensitivity. Fitch reduced its asset and investment risk assessment from aa to aa-minus after the risk-asset ratio rose to 77.00 percent in 2025 from 70.10 percent a year earlier. The agency identified acquisitions, higher investment risk and leverage of 22.00 percent or more as potential pressure points.
