Voya Financial (US9290891004) stock was up 2.92 percent in after-hours trading at Lang & Schwarz on October 5, 2026, while DOWLING raised its 2027 earnings estimate to USD 11.45 from USD 11.25 in a report dated September 29, 2026. The update adds a constructive estimate revision to a stock still trading below its recent primary-exchange high.

DOWLING lifts the earnings estimate

As MarketBeat reported on October 1, 2026, DOWLING analyst J. Hurwitz lifted the 2027 earnings per share estimate from USD 11.25 to USD 11.45 and introduced a 2028 estimate of USD 12.85. The 2027 forecast is above the current-year consensus estimate of USD 9.21, giving the revision a measurable earnings step-up.

The estimate revision follows a mixed latest reported quarter. MarketBeat said Voya posted USD 1.51 earnings per share against USD 1.98 consensus, while revenue reached USD 1.88 billion and declined 4.30 percent year over year.

Asset scale meets earnings pressure

Voya's operating profile remains tied to retirement, employee benefits and investment management. Its investor-relations page reports USD 1.2 trillion of assets under management and administration across more than 18 million customers as of June 30, 2026, alongside USD 200.0 million of excess capital as of the second quarter of 2026.

That scale provides a counterweight to the latest earnings comparison, but the estimate revision does not erase the quarterly shortfall. The same MarketBeat report described a Moderate Buy consensus from 13 analysts, with eight Buy ratings, one Strong Buy, three Holds and one Sell, plus an average 12-month target of USD 103.85.
