Why it matters: AFG's 2026 plan calls for about $11 in core EPS. Q3 results will show whether earnings are keeping pace.
Watch forQ3 core EPS is at least $2.47, keeping the first three quarters at $7.76 or more.
Also watch forQ3 core EPS is below $2.47, leaving less than $3.00 needed in Q4 to reach $11.
Why it matters: AFG said the sale could add a $125 million pretax gain. A closing update will confirm if and when that gain is recorded.
Supportive ifAFG reports the sale closed and records a pretax gain near $125 million.
Worry ifAFG reports the sale did not close, or records no gain close to $125 million.
Why it matters: Returns from these investments helped Q2 earnings but lowered Q1 earnings. The next result will show whether this source swings back.
Watch forAFG says alternative investments added to core EPS in Q3.
Also watch forAFG says alternative investments cut core EPS in Q3.
Why it matters: AFG reported 6% growth in Q2 while some insurance markets softened. Continued growth would support its premium and profit goals.
Supportive ifQ3 net written premiums grow at least 5% year over year.
Worry ifQ3 net written premium growth is below 3% year over year.

Why it matters: Specialty P&C underwriting profit rose 66% in Q1 and the company reported record P&C operating income in Q2. A Q3 reversal would weaken that trend.
Watch forQ3 Specialty P&C underwriting profit is more than the $144 million reported in Q2 2026.
Also watch forQ3 Specialty P&C underwriting profit is below $114 million, the Q2 2025 level.
Why it matters: A higher ratio means more claims and costs per premium dollar. AFG's 2026 plan uses a 92.5% combined ratio.
Worry ifQ3 Specialty P&C combined ratio is above 92.5%.
Less concerning ifQ3 Specialty P&C combined ratio is 92.5% or lower.
