Genworth Financial (NYSE: GNW) shareholder plans to sell 100,000 shares

Genworth Financial (GNW) increased its share buyback authorization by $500M, bringing total unused capacity to $588M.

GNW has already repurchased 30M shares for $262M under the prior authorization. However, the company faces risks, including dependence on ACT's performance and legacy insurance challenges.

Genworth’s AXA appeal decision is expected in 3 to 6 months.
