About Loews Corporation
About Loews Corporation
Loews Corporation's consolidated revenue depends primarily on CNA Financial Corporation, which contributed 81.2% of the holding company's total revenue in 2025 and operates a commercial property and casualty insurance franchise regulated group-wide by the Illinois Department of Insurance. Boardwalk Pipeline Partners contributed 12.6% of revenue, owning approximately 14,275 miles of natural gas and NGLs pipelines. Loews Hotels Holding Corporation and an equity-method stake in Altium Packaging LLC complete the four reportable segments.
CNA, approximately 92% owned by Loews, markets commercial P&C coverages including management and professional liability, D&O, surety, workers' compensation, commercial auto, and warranty products through independent agents, brokers, and managing general underwriters to businesses of all sizes across the U.S., Canada, U.K., Luxembourg, and Bermuda. The property and casualty market is described in the 10-K as highly competitive on rates, service, and financial strength. Boardwalk Pipelines transported approximately 3.9 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in 2025 through its Gulf South and Texas Gas systems, with growth projects totaling an expected $3.3 billion in capital commitments expected to add 4.2 Bcf/d of capacity—contingent on FERC approvals—through 2030. CNA also maintains a run-off long-term care business and a legacy asbestos and environmental pollution reserve portfolio.
Show full overview
CNA's most concentrated reinsurance exposure is a legacy A&EP loss portfolio ceded to National Indemnity Company (NICO), a Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary, under a transaction completed in 2010 with a $4.0 billion aggregate limit. Through December 31, 2025, cumulative cessions reached $3.9 billion—leaving roughly $100 million of remaining capacity. If A&EP claims exhaust this limit or NICO fails to perform its obligations, CNA would need to either reassume claim handling or purchase additional reinsurance limit, and the 10-K characterizes any resulting reserve increases as potentially substantial.
