RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. shareholders approved the 2026 Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) at the Annual General Meeting held on May 5, 2026. The LTIP replaces a prior plan and authorizes 1,250,000 common shares for various stock-based awards to attract and retain talent.

RENAISSANCERE HOLDINGS LTD reported a significant increase in net income attributable to common shareholders for Q1 2026, reaching $293.4 million, a 72.6% rise year-over-year. Basic EPS more than doubled to $6.60. This strong performance was primarily driven by a substantial decrease in net claims and claim expenses incurred, despite a decline in gross premiums written and a swing to net realized and unrealized investment losses. The company also saw a robust increase in net cash provided by operating activities.

RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. reported a strong first quarter for 2026, with operating income available to common shareholders soaring to $590.5 million, a significant turnaround from a loss in the prior year.
