Positive Impact 3 of 5 earnings Written later

Principal Financial Group reported second quarter 2025 net income attributable to PFG of $406.2 million, or $1.79 per diluted share, up from $1.49 a year earlier. The company also raised its third quarter 2025 common stock dividend to $0.78 per share, a 2-cent increase over the second quarter dividend. Trailing twelve-month net income fell 10%, so the longer-term picture is weaker than the quarter.
