RGA: Record Q2 quarter, strong investment returns, targets maintained
RGA's Q2 supports a constructive operating trajectory: new business, investment performance, capital deployment, and lower capped-cohort exposure were positives. The case still depends on sustained claims experience, investment returns, and execution of capital deployment.

Methodology
Reported and consensus figures come from FN2's earnings event records. Market reaction and volume are calculated from daily adjusted bars around the event; abnormal move subtracts the SPY move over the same window.
Analyst target low, average, and high values are derived at request time from each named analyst's latest persisted FMP target. The current-price marker comes from FN2's persisted market snapshot. They are sell-side estimates, not an FN2 valuation or recommendation.
Transcript intelligence is a structured synthesis of the current and prior earnings-call analyses. Missing values stay missing and are never estimated.
