Description
(AWP Alliance News) - Sun Life Financial Inc. posted the transcript of its Q2 2026 earnings call held Aug. 7, 2026, attended by CEO Kevin Strain, CFO Tim Deacon, IR head Natalie Brady, and business heads for the U.S., Asia, Canada, and SLC Management. Management reported underlying net income of USD 1.12 billion, underlying EPS of USD 2.02, and a LICAT ratio of 145%, alongside a renewed normal course issuer bid to repurchase up to 10 million shares.
In the U.S., President David Healy flagged that Q2 stop-loss results included an expected seasonal IBNR reserve build, while sales rose 86% and loss ratios stayed in the mid-70s range; he also warned Medicaid dental volume pressure will likely persist, with mix shifting toward commercial over the next one to two years. In Asia, President Manjit Singh said mainland Chinese visitors represented about 30% of Hong Kong sales, while new business CSM fell year over year as product mix and expenses normalized in a more competitive market, with current CSM margin levels seen as appropriate near term.
At SLC Management, Executive Chair Steve Peacher said the platform expects operating margin to exceed 30% over the coming years, trending to the mid-30% range or higher over five years, supported by scaling AUM and post-integration efficiencies.
