Principal Financial Group reported Q2 2026 results on July 27, 2026. Earnings per share came in at $2.50, ahead of the $2.34 estimate by 6.95%. Revenue was $4.0 billion, slightly below the $4.1 billion consensus. Compared with Q2 2025, EPS rose about 16% from $2.16 and revenue rose about 8% from $3.7 billion. That EPS is the highest in the table.

Annual EPS was $6.67 in 2022 and $6.56 in 2023, then rose to $6.98 in 2024 and $8.26 in 2025, an increase of about 18% in the latest full year. The first half of 2026 adds up to $4.57, about 15% more than the same period a year earlier. Results against estimates have been mixed. Over the last 20 quarters, Principal beat the EPS estimate 12 times and missed 8 times. The largest misses came in Q3 2024 and Q2 2024, at about 11% below each time.

Principal reported Q3 between October 24 and October 27 in each of the past five years. That points to late October 2026 for the next report. EPS has topped $2 in each of the last five quarters, and the report will show whether that continues.
