Securities analysts then tell investors what the results seem to mean.
Ryan Krueger, an analyst with Keefe Bruyette and Woods, says in his preview of results for life and annuity issuers that, in spite of concerns about COVID-19, low interest rates and investment market volatility, life and annuity issuers' third-quarter results should look better than the results for the second quarter.
The stock market did better in the third quarter than in the second quarter, the number of COVID-19 deaths seems to have even lower, and life insurers have been moving to cut expenses, Krueger says.
Companies that focus on selling life insurance to middle-income people could do especially well, and companies that focus on worksite sales may report soft sales, Krueger says.
He expects to see mix annuity sales results.
