Lincoln National reported Q2 2026 results on July 30, 2026. Earnings per share were $2.24, ahead of the $1.96 estimate by 14.42%. Revenue was $4.9 billion, 0.80% above the consensus. Compared with Q2 2025, EPS was about 5% lower than $2.36, while revenue rose from $4.7 billion.

The longer record shows one deep loss and a steady climb since. Q3 2022 was a loss of $10.23 per share, which turned 2022 into an annual loss of $5.37. Annual EPS then rose from $5.22 in 2023 to $6.22 in 2024 and $8.21 in 2025. The first half of 2026 totals $3.90, close to the $3.96 of the same period in 2025. Revenue was uneven in 2023, dropping as low as $2.0 billion in Q4 2023, but has held between $4.5 billion and $5.3 billion since 2024. It beat the EPS estimate in each of the last nine quarters.

Lincoln National reported its third quarter between October 30 and November 3 in each of the past five years. That points to late October or early November 2026 for the Q3 2026 report. It will show how EPS compares with $2.04 in Q3 2025.
