• Neutral Sentiment: Pre‑earnings previews and coverage flagged areas to watch (profitability vs. revenue trends). These preview pieces set expectations but did not drive the price move as much as the actual results. Earnings Preview
• Neutral Sentiment: Some outlets published headlines suggesting F&G “exceeded” expectations; that coverage appears inconsistent with consensus EPS/revenue comparisons and likely reflects differing metrics or older estimates — investors should rely on the company release and analyst models. Conflicting Coverage
• Negative Sentiment: Reported Q4 EPS of $0.91 missed the consensus (~$1.34) and declined sharply year‑over‑year; net earnings attributable to common shareholders fell to $124M (down from $323M a year earlier). This earnings shortfall is the primary driver of today’s share weakness. Earnings Miss (Zacks)
• Negative Sentiment: Revenue came in well below expectations ($739M reported vs. ~$1.55B expected), suggesting weaker sales or timing shifts that will draw analyst scrutiny and could pressure near‑term estimates. Company Press Release / Slide Deck
