Voya presented its workplace‑focused platform that integrates retirement, investment management and employee benefits for 18 million customers and over 50,000 corporate clients. Management highlighted strong cash‑flow generation (USD 650m in 2024, USD 775m in 2025, further increases expected in 2026), high margins in the retirement business and cross‑selling potential. In the stop‑loss business Voya sees market hardening and improved pricing but maintains strict underwriting discipline. Capital is being deployed in a balanced way: investments in growth, selective acquisitions, and shareholder returns via dividend increases and share buybacks. » Plus sur de.investing.com

Voya Financial reported adjusted operating earnings per share of $1.51 (expectation $1.97) and revenue of $1.9 billion (expectation $1.93 billion). Negative performance in alternative investments (annualized return -2.5%) and severance costs each reduced quarterly earnings by about $0.90 per share. Core businesses showed strength: retirement business net inflows were $8.1 billion and Wealth Management assets under management rose to $33 billion. Management expects improved results in H2 2026, anticipates cost cuts will offset severance charges within 2026, and plans at least $100 million of buybacks in Q3. » Plus sur de.investing.com
