With Q1 2026 at $3.50, first-half EPS totals $7.02, against $0.38 in the first half of 2025, which included a Q1 loss of $2.29 per share.

Full-year EPS then went to $0.30 in 2023, $7.19 in 2024 and $7.90 in 2025. Quarterly revenue rose from $915.8 million in Q4 2022 to about $1.5 to $1.6 billion recently. The company has topped the EPS estimate 13 quarters in a row, and the high here is Q3 2025's $3.86.

Mercury General reported Q3 between October 29 and November 4 in each of the past five years. That points to late October or early November 2026 for the next report, which will show whether that streak continues.
