Jackson Financial swings to $435 million first-quarter loss; adjusted earnings edge up

Mixed earnings Written later 2.02

Jackson Financial reported a first-quarter 2026 net loss attributable to common shareholders of $435 million, or $6.24 per diluted share, compared with a $35 million loss, or $0.48 per share, a year earlier. Adjusted operating earnings rose slightly to $361 million, or $5.15 per diluted share, from $376 million, or $5.10 per share, while retail annuity sales grew 31% to $5.3 billion. The filing attributes the GAAP loss mainly to less favorable net hedging results, so shareholders face a sharply weaker reported result even as the company's adjusted measure held steady.

  • Net loss attributable to common shareholders of $435 million, or $6.24 per diluted share, versus a $35 million loss, or $0.48 per share, in Q1 2025
