A 31% surge in Investment and Savings Products segment income propelled Primerica's Q2 2026 net income 13% higher to $202.3 million. The effective tax rate dropped to 21.7% from 23.9%, thanks to a new $110 million tax equity investment in a solar facility that delivered $50.3 million in tax benefits. Share buybacks remained aggressive, with $270.2 million repurchased under the $475 million program. Meanwhile, the company terminated a previously announced 10% coinsurance agreement, bringing $131.4 million in cash back onto the balance sheet. These results underscore robust momentum in the ISP business, which more than offset modest headwinds in term life insurance sales.
