Did the release disclose any significant capital allocation plans, such as share buybacks or dividend adjustments?

Answer

Based on the information provided in the news release, Manulife’s second‑quarter 2025 results focus on the company’s continued strong momentum in new‑business growth and related performance metrics. The summary does not mention any specific capital‑allocation actions such as:

  • Share‑buyback programs (e.g., announcements of repurchasing common shares, the size or timing of a buyback, or any related authorization)
  • Dividend adjustments (e.g., changes to the quarterly or annual dividend amount, payout ratio, or the declaration of a special dividend)

Therefore, the release does not disclose any significant capital‑allocation plans, including share buybacks or dividend adjustments. If Manulife had intended to announce such initiatives, they would have been highlighted in the “Capital Allocation” or “Dividend” sections of the earnings release, but no such details are present in the excerpt provided.
