Principal Financial Group, Inc. reported that it publicly announced its results of operations and financial condition for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The announcement was made on July 27, 2026, the same date as the report. The filing is a Form 8-K under Item 2.02, “Results of Operations and Financial Condition,” indicating that Principal issued its second-quarter 2026 earnings release. The company furnished the earnings release as Exhibit 99, though the filing text provided does not include the actual financial tables or performance metrics, such as revenue, earnings, assets under management, net income, EPS, capital return activity, or segment results. The filing also includes Item 9.01, “Financial Statements and Exhibits,” listing the Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Release and the Inline XBRL cover page exhibit. No securities issuance, insider transaction, merger, executive change, dividend declaration, share repurchase detail, or other corporate transaction is described in the filing text. The report was signed on behalf of Principal Financial Group by Joel Pitz, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, on July 27, 2026. In practical terms, this filing matters because it formally notifies investors that Principal has released its quarterly operating and financial results, but the document excerpt itself does not provide the underlying earnings figures needed to assess the company’s quarterly performance.
