Sun Life's US underlying net income grew 32% to US$141 million in the third quarter of 2026. Insurance Business reported that the growth was primarily driven by the medical stop-loss and dental segments, which helped offset an earnings decline in the Employee Benefits unit.
The Employee Benefits unit was pressured by higher long-term disability claims, though strong performance in specialized insurance segments bolstered overall regional results. In the broader US economic context, data released on November 4, 2026, showed private sector employment grew by 86,000 jobs per the ADP report, while the ISM Services PMI recorded a reading of 54.5 on the same date.
