When does Principal Financial Group, Inc. (PFG) report earnings? On Oct 26, 2026, after the close

Of its last 12 earnings announcements: 12 after the close. Each one comes from the 8-K with item 2.02 that Principal Financial filed with the SEC, paired with the 10-Q or 10-K for that same quarter: 68 quarters since Aug 4, 2009, and every row links to its filing.

Next announced date: Oct 26, 2026, after the close. It comes from the company through the public Nasdaq calendar, not from the SEC: it is a scheduled date and companies do move it. Everything else on this page already happened, with its filing attached.

The latest, still without a report

  • Jul 27, 2026, Monday at 20:10 New York time (after the close). see the 8-K

It is this company's most recent 8-K with item 2.02 and it does not yet have its 10-Q or 10-K behind it, so there is no way to say which quarter it belongs to: it does not enter the figures above or the table, and for the same reason it might not be an earnings announcement at all (some companies use this same item for production figures or monthly sales).

The last 20 quarters, one by one

"Lead": trading sessions between the announcement and the full quarterly report to the SEC (10-Q, or 10-K at fiscal year end). For Principal Financial, a median of 4 sessions over the last 12 quarters.

Where each number comes from

From the 8-K with item 2.02 ("Results of Operations and Financial Condition") that Principal Financial filed on EDGAR, the SEC's public database; only those with their 10-Q or 10-K behind them count, so other 8-Ks with the same item (production figures, monthly sales) stay out. The time is converted to New York time using this specific company's stamp convention (its EDGAR stamp arrives in UTC), and it is not assumed: it is derived from the hours in which EDGAR accepts filings. In 6 of this company's 68 quarters the date comes from the EDGAR acceptance day rather than the 8-K cover box, and those are flagged with an asterisk in the table.

What this data does not know

  • The exact time of the press release: the 8-K reaches EDGAR minutes or hours later, so Principal Financial's median 20:33 is an upper bound. The session says which one the news landed in, not what minute it was said.
  • Nothing before Aug 4, 2009: it is Principal Financial's oldest quarter with announcement and report paired in the file.
  • What will happen. The page's only future date, Oct 26, 2026, was announced by Principal Financial on the Nasdaq calendar and can be moved. Principal Financial reporting after the close 29 quarters in a row does not say the next one will be the same.
  • Principal Financial's identity is its SEC CIK (0001126328), not its symbol: symbols get recycled and renamed.
