F&G Annuities & Life Inc (FG) saw its stock soar 5.06% in pre-market trading on Friday, following a series of positive announcements that have boosted investor confidence. The company's shares reacted favorably to news of a dividend increase, a planned ownership distribution, and strong third-quarter financial results.
In a significant move for shareholders, F&G announced a 14% increase in its quarterly cash dividend to $0.25 per common share, up from the previous $0.22. This raise demonstrates the company's financial health and commitment to returning value to shareholders. The increased dividend will be payable on December 31, 2025, to stockholders of record as of December 17, 2025.
Adding to the positive sentiment, Fidelity National Financial (FNF), F&G's parent company, revealed plans to distribute approximately 12% ownership of F&G to FNF shareholders. This distribution, set for December 31, 2025, will involve about 16 million shares of F&G common stock. FNF shareholders are expected to receive approximately six F&G shares for every 100 FNF shares held, potentially broadening F&G's investor base and enhancing its market liquidity.
Furthermore, F&G's stock surge was supported by its strong third-quarter 2025 earnings report. The company reported a significant increase in revenue to $1.69 billion and a net income of $118 million, marking a return to profitability compared to a net loss in the same quarter of the previous year. This financial turnaround has reinforced investor confidence in F&G's growth trajectory and operational efficiency.
