What happened
Globe Life reduced its full-year 2026 net operating income forecast and posted a drop in third-quarter net income. The company attributed the guidance cut to an underwriting loss at Evry Health and roughly $7 million in excess Medicare Supplement claims. These excess claims were linked to processing delays at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Why it matters
