Lincoln National completed a $5.8 billion reinsurance deal that improved its capital efficiency and freed resources for higher-return products. The company reported strong Q2 results with earnings per share of $2.24, beating estimates by $0.28, revenue growth of 12%, and operating income rising for the eighth consecutive quarter. Capital actions like preferred stock redemption and a stable 3.9% dividend set the stage for resumed share buybacks and improved free cash flow. The stock has rallied about 20% over the past year, and with a raised $50 price target and a 'buy' rating, the company shows potential for low-teens total returns in the next year.
