AXIS Capital to report third-quarter results on Oct. 28, hold investor call the next day
Key Facts
AXIS Capital set Oct. 28, after market close, for reporting third-quarter results for the period ended Sept. 30, 2026, according to the company announcement published via GlobeNewswire. The company said Chief Executive Vince Tizzio and Chief Financial Officer Matthew Kirk will host an investor call on Oct. 29 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss the results. Before the results were released, analysts’ published estimates pointed to earnings of $2.85 per share and revenue of $1.69 billion. These were estimates made before the announcement, not actual results. AXIS has described itself as a specialty underwriter providing insurance and reinsurance solutions through its subsidiaries.
Second-quarter 2026 data are the latest quarterly comparison available among the facts presented here. The company reported net income available to common shareholders of $251 million, up 16% year over year, while operating income was $211 million, down 19% from the year-earlier period. The combined ratio was 93.1%, with underwriting income of $143 million. These figures reflect a different direction in operating net income that quarter, while the third-quarter picture remains tied to the results the company scheduled for release on Oct. 28.
In the third quarter of 2025, net income available to common shareholders was $294 million, while operating income was $255 million. The combined ratio was 89.4%. These figures provide an annual benchmark for comparison when third-quarter 2026 results are released, alongside the prior quarter’s results. The available facts here do not include actual third-quarter 2026 figures for comparison with those periods.
Pricing conditions were among the issues cited in an Investing.com report before the results announcement. The report said AXIS’s insurance and reinsurance prices in the first half of 2026 declined 4% on a gross basis and 6% net of price trends. These percentages provide context for the pre-results expectations, but do not on their own determine pricing’s effect on third-quarter figures. In a second-quarter results statement, the chief executive said gross premiums written rose 6% year over year to $2.7 billion, and the annualized operating return on equity was 14.3%.
AXIS recorded pre-tax catastrophe and weather losses, net of reinsurance, of $80 million in the second quarter. The losses included $49 million from natural catastrophes, while $31 million was attributed to the Middle East conflict. These items detail the components of losses the company disclosed for that quarter, while comparable third-quarter details were not included in the available facts. Diluted book value per common share was also $80.67 on June 30, 2026, up 14.7% over the previous twelve months.
Tizzio and Kirk are scheduled to discuss third-quarter results with investors on Oct. 29 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The results announcement was scheduled for after market close the previous day, Oct. 28, for the period ended Sept. 30, 2026. The call will give management a later opportunity to present its view of the results, according to the company’s announcement. The available facts did not include details about AXIS share price movements after the results announcement.
