Forecast rises above consensus

The DOWLING & PARTN estimate is tied to fiscal year 2028, while the USD 4.19 comparison is the current full-year consensus cited in the October 1 report. That gap gives the latest analyst view a clear earnings benchmark, but it is a forecast rather than reported company performance.

For the second quarter of 2026, CNA reported diluted earnings per share of USD 1.18, compared with USD 1.23 in the prior-year quarter, while net income increased 7.4 percent to USD 321.0 million, according to MarketBeat. Revenue of USD 3.83 billion exceeded the cited USD 2.97 billion consensus by USD 0.86 billion, a 28.96 percent difference.
