Loews (L) Q2 EPS Jumps 12%
Loews (NYSE:L), a diversified holding company active in insurance, energy, and hospitality, released its second quarter 2025 results on August 4, 2025. The company delivered GAAP earnings per share of $1.87 in Q2 2025, up 12% versus Q2 2024. Net income attributable to Loews rose 6% to $391 million (GAAP) in Q2 2025 versus Q2 2024. Revenue (GAAP) reached $4.555 billion in Q2 2025, representing a 6.7% increase versus Q2 2024. These results highlighted resilient performance at Boardwalk Pipelines and incremental progress in book value, despite some pressure from legacy claims at its insurance subsidiary, CNA Financial Corporation. Without available analyst consensus, the company’s results can only be measured against its prior-year benchmarks. Overall, the quarter showed Loews’ continued ability to grow revenue and maintain capital discipline across its varied portfolio.
Loews is a sprawling holding company with major interests in the insurance industry, energy infrastructure, hotels and hospitality, and packaging. Its most important business driver is its large-scale insurance subsidiary, which underwrites a mix of commercial property, casualty, and specialty lines primarily via CNA Financial. The other key assets are Boardwalk Pipelines, which operates a network of natural gas pipelines and storage, and Loews Hotels, its hospitality platform focused on owned, joint venture, and managed properties largely in the United States.
The company’s recent strategy emphasizes operational efficiency within each business, capital discipline through share buybacks, and maximizing returns from major subsidiary investments. Key drivers for continued success include underwriting quality in insurance, regulatory compliance and project delivery in pipelines, and expanding hotel offerings while controlling costs. Leadership points to book value growth and ongoing repurchases as markers of how capital is allocated to support shareholder returns.
