SPRINGFIELD — MassMutual grew its operating earnings to nearly $3.9 billion last year, an all-time high.
MassMutual also approved an estimated dividend payout of $2.9 billion for 2026. That is the highest in company history, MassMutual announced Monday.
Whole life insurance policy dividends can be applied to add to a policy's coverage and cash value, reduce premiums or policy loans, or taken as cash.
On Monday, MassMutual said sales from its domestic insurance operations topped $43 billion.
MassMutual increased the life insurance protection it provides to nearly $1.1 trillion and paid $10.3 billion in insurance and annuity benefits, the company said.
Apart from life insurance, MassMutual saw increased demand for its wealth management solutions and grew that business to a record $312 billion.
"With MassMutual celebrating its 175th anniversary in 2026, we are not only honoring our legacy; we are strengthening it," said Roger Crandall, chairman, president and CEO, MassMutual. "From the moment we issued our first policy in 1851, MassMutual has stood behind people as they've faced challenges and pursued possibilities."
