Loews stock (ISIN US5404241086) trades 13.70 percent below its 52-week high: the latest NYSE quote was USD 104.43 on September 30, 2026, against a high of USD 121.01. As Yahoo Finance reported on September 7, 2026, Loews had reported second-quarter net income of USD 444 million on August 3, up from USD 391 million in the same quarter of 2025.

Profit grows while book value rises

The net income increase was 13.55 percent year over year, while earnings per share reached USD 2.16, compared with USD 1.87 in the prior-year quarter. Book value per share stood at USD 93.52 on June 30, 2026, versus USD 90.71 at the end of 2025, an increase of 3.10 percent.

Loews describes itself as a diversified holding company spanning insurance, energy, hospitality and packaging. That mix matters for the earnings profile because CNA Financial remains the largest contributor, while Boardwalk Pipelines and Loews Hotels provide additional operating exposure.

Underwriting is the counter-factor

The latest profit gain did not remove pressure in the insurance business. CNA's combined ratio widened to 96.50 percent from 94.10 percent in the second quarter, while its underlying combined ratio rose to 94.20 percent from 91.70 percent, according to the Yahoo Finance report dated September 7, 2026.

For shareholders, capital allocation provides a second measurable support. MarketBeat reported on September 7, 2026, that Loews paid a quarterly dividend of USD 0.0625, equal to USD 0.25 annualized and a 0.20 percent yield. The same report cited a consensus Strong Buy rating and a Weiss Ratings upgrade from buy b+ to buy a- dated July 28, 2026.
