AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Loews (L)

Loews Q1 net income falls to $370 million from $457 million on CNA reserve charge

Negative Impact 3 of 5 earnings Written later

Loews reported first-quarter 2025 net income of $370 million, or $1.74 per share, down from $457 million, or $2.05 per share, a year earlier. The decline was driven mainly by a $63 million pretax reserve charge at CNA, partly offset by higher earnings at Boardwalk Pipelines, and the company repurchased 5.1 million shares for $429 million since the end of 2024.
