Voya Financial IncQ2 earnings and adjusted operating earnings declined due to severance costs and weaker Employee Benefits results.

Voya Financial reported second-quarter 2026 net income of $90 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, down from $162 million a year earlier, while adjusted operating earnings fell to $140 million from $240 million. The decline was driven by $40 million in severance costs, a $15 million loss on alternative investments, and weaker Employee Benefits results, which saw pre-tax adjusted operating earnings drop to $22 million from $69 million. Despite the profit slump, Voya's Retirement segment crossed 10 million participant accounts and grew client assets 14% to $863 billion, while Investment Management saw pre-tax earnings rise 12% to $57 million on $1.2 billion of net inflows. The company returned about $200 million to shareholders through dividends and buybacks, with $263 million still authorized for repurchases. Management expects severance costs to be offset by expense savings within two quarters.
