Lancashire Holdings Limited reported strong year-to-date underwriting and financial performance in Q3 2026, with the insurer expecting to meet full-year guidance and deliver a high teens return on equity for 2026.

The company announced a special dividend of $182 million, or $0.75 per share, payable in early December. Group CEO Alexander Maloney said the dividend "continues our long-standing approach of returning surplus capital to shareholders as quickly and as efficiently as possible."

Lancashire's strong operational performance and robust balance sheet supported the capital return.
