Mixed Impact 3 of 5 earnings Written later

CNO Financial Group reported fourth quarter 2025 net income of $93 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, down from $183 million, or $1.74, a year earlier, mainly due to non-economic accounting impacts from market volatility. Net operating income, a non-GAAP measure that excludes those items, rose to $143 million, or $1.47 per diluted share, from $1.31 per share in the prior-year quarter. The company said it achieved, and in most cases exceeded, its 2025 guidance metrics.
