The Hartford Reports Record Third Quarter Earnings, Boosts Dividend
The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. today announced record third quarter core earnings of $1.1 billion, a significant increase from $752 million in the same period last year, and simultaneously announced a 15 percent increase to its common quarterly dividend.
Chairman and CEO Christopher Swift stated, “The Hartford delivered outstanding third quarter results, generating record core earnings…highlighting the strength of The Hartford’s franchise.” The positive results were driven by lower property and casualty catastrophe losses, increased net investment income, and growth in earned premium across the company’s various insurance lines. Strong financial performance in the insurance industry is a key indicator of overall economic health.
Specifically, Business Insurance saw top-line growth of 9 percent with an underlying combined ratio of 89.4, while Personal Insurance achieved a 3.7-point improvement in its underlying combined ratio. Beth Costello, The Hartford’s Chief Financial Officer, noted the strength of investment performance, supported by a diversified portfolio and attractive new money yields. Investors can find more information about investment strategies at the Investopedia website.
The company’s book value per diluted share increased by 15.9 percent to $63.86 as of September 30, 2025. Swift added that the dividend increase reflects a consistent track record of annual increases and positions The Hartford to continue delivering strong results.
