Manulife Financial reported a strong first quarter of 2026, with core earnings of $1.8 billion, up 8%, and net income attributed to shareholders of $1.1 billion, up $0.7 billion from a year earlier. Diluted core EPS rose to $1.06, an 11% increase, while reported EPS climbed to $0.65, up 178%. Core ROE reached 16.5% and the LICAT ratio stood at 136%, highlighting capital strength.
Insurance growth remained robust: APE sales grew 7% to $2.8 billion, new business CSM increased 16% to $1.0 billion, and new business value rose 7% to $944 million. Asia drove much of this momentum with 22% core earnings growth and 15% NBV growth, while Canada and the U.S. saw mixed results as Canada’s core earnings declined and U.S. core earnings dipped modestly despite a swing to positive net income.
Global Wealth and Asset Management delivered higher fees and a better core EBITDA margin but recorded $4.4 billion of net outflows compared with prior-year inflows. Manulife continued to execute on strategic initiatives, completing the Schroders Indonesia acquisition, entering a partnership with L&G, and scaling AI tools across businesses. The board declared a quarterly common dividend of $0.485 per share, payable on June 19 2026, with dividends eligible for reinvestment through existing Canadian and U.S. plans.
