Horace Mann Educators raises 2026 core EPS guidance to $5.75‑$5.95

Horace Mann Educators reported Q3 2026 core EPS of $2.06, well above analysts' expectations. Revenue for the quarter was $439.2 million, surpassing the $323.4 million consensus. The insurer lifted its full‑year 2026 core EPS outlook to $5.75‑$5.95, up from a prior range of $4.60‑$4.90, and said Medical Mutual of Ohio deals should contribute an additional $0.40‑$0.50 per share annually.

The company says the higher guidance reflects strong property‑and‑casualty earnings and the expected contribution from the Ohio deals, which could improve earnings per share relative to consensus of $4.86. Analysts note the raise may narrow the discount to fair‑value estimates.
