Description: CNA CNA Financial October 31, 2025
CNA Financial Corp. (NYSE:CNA) is a Chicago-based insurance holding company that underwrites commercial property and casualty (P&C) products in the U.S. and abroad. Its operations are organized into four segments-Specialty, Commercial, International, and Life & Group-covering professional liability, directors-and-officers, cyber, workers’ compensation, commercial auto, surety bonds, and a range of property and machinery coverages. The firm also offers loss-sensitive programs and run-off long-term care policies, and it has been a subsidiary of Loews Corporation since its founding in 1853.
Key recent metrics: CNA reported a 2023 combined ratio of 94.5%, indicating underwriting profitability, and generated $1.1 billion of net income on $13.6 billion of written premium. Its return on equity (ROE) hovered around 12%, above the sector average of roughly 9%. The company’s exposure to commercial real-estate risk is a material driver, as declining office occupancy and higher financing costs have pressured underwriting results across the P&C industry. Additionally, Loews holds an estimated 30% ownership stake, providing CNA with a stable capital backstop but also linking its performance to Loews’ broader conglomerate dynamics.
