Manulife Financial shares are sliding as traders lock in profits after last week’s 52‑week high and grow cautious ahead of the Q1 2026 earnings report due after the close on May 13. Sentiment is further hit by a new policy that treats jet fuel shortages as a known event, limiting travel insurance coverage and raising concerns about future growth in that unit.
After surging to $40.09 on Friday, May 8, 2026, the stock is now retreating as short‑term investors step back and reassess risk. The combination of earnings uncertainty and the tighter insurance terms has prompted a pullback from recent highs, with some analysts warning that expectations for the travel segment may need to be reset if customer demand weakens.
