AXIS Capital Posts $209.1M Third-Quarter Net Income
AXS sits 15% above its 52-week low of $88.07.
Summary
AXIS Capital reported third-quarter net income of $209.1 million, or EPS of $2.75, on revenue of $1.79 billion. That is down from the $250.5 million it earned in Q2 2026, a quarter that also carried a 93.1% combined ratio and $97 million of buybacks. Gross premiums written rose 11% in the quarter and the expense ratio was 10.8%, while underwriting margin, catastrophe losses and investment income are still unknown. The company has been returning capital aggressively, with a new $300 million buyback authorized in April on top of prior repurchase activity, so the earnings call details on book value and buyback pace matter for the thesis.
