Alan Schnitzer, chairman and CEO of The Travelers Companies, said on the company’s second-quarter 2026 earnings call on July 17 that the company reported “an excellent second quarter” with “very strong underwriting performance across all three segments and a terrific result from our investment portfolio.” He attributed the results to “steady progress on the innovation front,” including product enhancements and the use of artificial intelligence in claims processing. During the Q&A session, Schnitzer stated that the company would not relax underwriting standards or pricing to drive growth, calling that approach “a fool’s errand” and saying the company’s objective is to “compete on franchise value.” On the company’s first-quarter 2026 earnings call on April 16, Schnitzer described the quarter as “an excellent start to 2026” with strong underwriting and investment results. He also noted that the board of directors had declared a 14% increase in the quarterly cash dividend to $1.25 per share, marking 22 consecutive years of dividend increases.
